A massless metal plate is placed on a horizontal tabletop lubricated with oil. The sheet is a square of side length l = 1.0m and the oil layer has thickness h = 1.0mm. Initially one edge of the sheet coincides with one edge of the table. The sheet is pulled outwards without rotation with a constant force F = 15 N. If coefficient of viscosity of the oil is η = 0.2 N-s/m2, how long (in second) will it take to pull half of the sheet out of the table?

In this case,

F = η v h l ( l x )            

v = F h η l ( l x ) = d x d t            

So,     t = 3 η l 3 8 F h = 5 s e c
