(a) A wing section with a chord of c and a span of b is mounted at zero angle of attack in a wind tunnel. A pitot probe is used to measure the velocity profile in the viscous region downstream of the wing section as shown in the figure. The measured velocity profile is u(z) = U∞ - (U/2) cos[TZ/(2w)] for -w ≤ z≤ w. Here, w = 0.02c. Assuming a constant pressure p = p along the streamlines (dashed lines in the figure) and across the wake where the velocity was measured, calculate the friction drag coefficient Cp of the wing section.

Question
(a) A wing section with a chord of c and a span of b is mounted at
zero angle of attack in a wind tunnel. A pitot probe is used to
measure the velocity profile in the viscous region downstream of the
wing section as shown in the figure. The measured velocity profile
is u(z) = U∞ - (U/2) cos[TZ/(2w)] for -w ≤ z ≤w. Here, w =
0.02c. Assuming a constant pressure p = Poo along the streamlines
(dashed lines in the figure) and across the wake where the velocity
was measured, calculate the friction drag coefficient Cp, of the wing
section.
