During a coating process, a thin, flat tape of width
is pulled through a channel of length
containing a Newtonian fluid of density
and dynamic viscosity
. The fluid is in contact with both sides of the tape. Estimate the force required to pull the tape through the channel if the tape has velocity
and the channel has height
.
Note : You may assume that the tape is much thinner than .
