Problem 3:
A delivery car carries a long sign on the top, which can be considered as a thin plate (thin in the
direction into the paper). The car is moving at 65miles/hour.
(a) Is the boundary layer laminar or turbulent at the trailing edge?
(b) If the boundary layer is laminar at the trailing edge, assume the entire boundary layer is
laminar. If the boundary layer is turbulent at the trailing edge, assume the entire boundary
layer is turbulent. Then estimate the drag on the sign (it has two sides!).
(c) If the boundary layer is turbulent at the trailing edge, use the mixed boundary layer
(laminar+turbulent) formula to estimate the drag (It has two sides!).
