Consider a thin square plate floating on a viscous liquid in a large tank. The height h of the liquid in the tank is much less than the width of the tank. The floating plate is pulled horizontally with a constant velocity . Which of the following statements is (are) true?

A
The resistive force of liquid on the plate is inversely proportional to h

B
The resistive force of liquid on the plate is independent of the area of the plate

C
The tangential (shear) stress on the floor of the tank increases with .

D
The tangential (shear) stress on the plate varies linearly with the viscosity n of the liquid.

Viscous force is given by since h is very small, so magnitude of viscous force is given by

(Because and y = height of fluid (h))

;

Since plate is moving with constant velocity, same force must be acting on the floor. 

So Option (A), (C) and (D) are correct
