Calculate the drag coefficient and viscous forces on the surface of the red blood cell (diameter = 8 μm, viscosity = 10 mm/s), assuming that the only force which acts on the blood cell is shear stress due to the flowing blood. The blood viscosity is 4 cp and the density is 1100 kg/m³. Also simplify the geometry of the red blood cell so that the area of interest can be considered a perfect sphere.

A film of liquid with kinematic viscosity and density p spreads over a flat horizontal surface due to gravity as shown. Assume that the spread is planar in x - y plane with unit width into page. The height of the film is h(x, t) which varies in a direction and time t. The flow is incompressible and the x-velocity is u(x, y, t) which is governed by the lubrication theory due to the small thickness of the film (h < L). The pressure outside the film is uniform and atmospheric. Inside the film the pressure variation is hydrostatic in y direction. At x = 0, h = h, and h is symmetric in z (i.e., h(L,t) = h(-L, t)). The gravitational acceleration is g. x=-L hexat) ấy x u(x, y, t) = -2y(2h - y). x=L Show that +(udy) = 0 Using lubrication theory show that the velocity profile ↓g Assuming that Oh/dt = constant, use (a) and (b) results to find h(r, t) in term of ho, x, ah/ot, v, L and g.
