    A thin movable plate is separated from two fixed plates \[{{P}_{1}}\]and \[{{P}_{2}}\] by two highly viscous liquids of coefficients of viscosity \[{{n}_{1}}\] and \[{{n}_{2\,}}\] as shown where \[{{n}_{2}}=9{{n}_{1}}.\]Area of contact of movable plate with each fluid is same. If the distance between  two fixed plates is h, then the distance \[{{h}_{1}}\] movable plate form upper plate such that movable  plate can be moved with a finite velocity by applying the minimum possible force on movable  plate is (assume only linear velocity distribution in each liquid)

    A) \[\frac{h}{4}\]

    B) \[\frac{h}{2}\]

    C) \[\frac{h}{6}\]

    D) \[\frac{h}{3}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[F=\left[ {{n}_{1}}\frac{v}{{{h}_{1}}}+{{n}_{2}}\frac{v}{\left( h-{{h}_{1}} \right)} \right]{{ & }_{A}}\] \[\frac{dF}{d{{h}_{1}}}=0\] \[{{h}_{1}}=\frac{h}{4}\]
