**Banner Drag.** A small plane pulls a square advertisement banner (10m x 10m) through the air at \( U = 25 \) km/hour. Estimate the total drag force (N) and power required of the plane to pull the banner for (a) using laminar flat plate results, (b) using turbulent smooth plate results in Table 9.1.
[Note: the banner has two sides].

**Ans OM:**
(a) F: \( 10^0 \) N, P: \( 10^1 \) W; 
(b) F: \( 10^1 \) N, P: \( 10^2 \) W

| \( C_{Df} = \frac{1.328}{(Re_{\ell})^{0.5}} \)  | Laminar flow                                          |
| \( C_{Df} = \frac{0.455}{(\log Re_{\ell})^{2.58}} - \frac{1700}{Re_{\ell}} \) | Transitional with \( Re_{x,cr} = 5 \times 10^5 \)    |

| \( C_{Df} = \left[1.89 - 1.62 \log(\varepsilon/\ell)\right]^{-2.5} \) | Completely turbulent           |

This table provides empirical equations for calculating the drag coefficient of a flat plate under various flow conditions. Each equation corresponds to a specific regime, ranging from laminar to completely turbulent flows.
