Volume Using Multiple Integration

This is a PAST exam question. Please help me understand how to go about questions a and b. I think I need some kind of double integral or something?

Velocity field bewteen two plates, 1 fixed, 1 moving with u=Asin(omega*t)

Two infinite parallel plates are separated by a distance h. The space between them is filled with a Newtonian fluid, density (rho), viscosity (mu). The lower plate is fixed, but the upper plate executes a sinusoidal motion. (U=A*sin(omego*t) Calculate the velocity field between the plates, and plot some representative profiles ...continues

Dimensional Analysis and Dynamic Similtude

Determine the specific gravity of spherical particles, D=(1/200 in), which drop through air at 33degrees F at a speed U of 0.3 ft/s. The drag force on a small sphere in laminar motion is given by 3(pi)(mu)DU. This problem is in Fluid Mechanics by Victor Streeter and the answer given is 0.185.
