Tape is to be coated on both sides with glue by drawing it through a narrow gap. The tape is 0.015 in. thick and 1.00 in. wide. It is centered in the gap with a clearance of 0.012 in. on each side. The glue, of viscosity η=0.02 slug/(ft ⋅ s), completely fills the space between the tape and gap. If the tape can withstand a maximum tensile force of 25 lb, determine the maximum gap region through which it can be pulled at a speed of 3 ft/s.
This one is still a work in progress. Email me if you would like me to post it.
