inside a stationary circular bearing. The shaft is 1m long and 5cm
in diameter. The gap between the rotating shaft and the stationary
(Fixed) bearing is 2mm. The gap is completely filled with engine
oil (unused) at temperature T= 120C. Assume Linear profile of the
velocity distribution. Calculate he power required to rotate the
shaft at 500 RPM
