Consider a thin square plate floating on a viscous liquid in a large tank. The height h of the liquid in the tank is much less than the width of the tank. The floating plate is pulled horizontally with a constant velocity u 0 . Which of the following statements is (are) true?
A
The resistive force of liquid on the plate is inversely proportional to h
B
The resistive force of liquid on the plate is independent of the area of the plate
C
The tangential (shear) stress on the floor of the tank increases with u 0
D
The tangential (shear) stress on the plate varies linearly with the viscosity 
of the liquid
