Some amusement parks feature a free-fall ride that briefly simulates the effect of weightlessness. Riders are lifted to the top of a tall tower in a specialized seating container and then dropped briefly before the container is finally slowed to a stop.

Two horizontal plates with infinite length and width are separated by a distance h in the z direction. the bottom plate is moving at a velocity u. the incompressible fluid trapped between the plates is moving in the positive x-direction with the bottom plate. align gravity with positive z. assume that the flow is fully-developed and laminar. if the systems operates at steady state and the pressure gradient in x-direction can be ignored, do the following: 1. sketch your system 2. identify the coordinate system to be used. 3. show your coordinates and origin point on the sketch. list all your assumptions. 5. apply the continuity equation to your system. nts of navier stokes equations of choice to your system 7. solve the resulting differential equation to obtain the velocity profile within the system make sure to list your boundary conditions. check units of velocity 8. describe the velocity profile you obtain using engineering terminology. sketch that on the same sketch you provided in (1). 9. obtain the equation that describes the volumetric flow rate in the system. check the units.

True or false: the cycle of seasons on the earth is caused by the tilt of the earth on its axis toward and away from the sun.

You are about to open a container of soy milk but notice that there are instructions to “shake well before serving.” the soy milk is most likely a
