Prob.7. A smooth flat plate of length 5 m and width 2 m is moving with a velocity of 4 m/s in stationary air of density 1.25 kg/m' and kinematic viscosity 1.5 x 10-5 m2/s. Determine thickness of the boundary layer at the trailing edge of the smooth plate. Find the total drag on one side of the plate assuming that the boundary layer is turbulent from the very beginning.
