Consider fluid flow between two infinite horizontal plates which are parallel (the gap between them being $50 \: mm$). The top plate is sliding parallel to the stationary bottom plate at a speed of $3\: m/s$. The flow between the plates is solely due to the motion of the top plate. The force per unit area (magnitude) required to maintain the bottom plate stationary is _________ $N/m^2$.
