Solution

The correct option is D 2 units
The distance of a point from the X-axis is indicated by the value on its y-coordinate irrespective of its sign.
Thus, the distance of the point (3, -2) from the X-axis is 2 units.

Q. With reference to a standard Cartesian (x, y) plane, the parabolic velocity distribution profile of fully developed laminar flow in x-direction between two parallel, stationary and identical plates that are seperated by distance h, is given by the expression

u = - \frac{h^{2}}{8 μ} \frac{d p}{d x} [1 - 4 {(\frac{y}{h})}^{2}]

In this equation, the y = 0 axis lies equidistant between the plates at a distance h/2 from the two plates, p is the pressure variable and

μ

is the dynamic viscosity term. The maximum and average velocities are, respectively
