Consider a flat plate that is L = 3 m long and of unit width immersed in a free stream flow of air with velocity 11 m/s. Assume the surface is smooth and the boundary layer is turbulent from the leading edge. Use flat-plate boundary layer theory to: a. Calculate the drag force on the plate (consider only one side.) b. Calculate the contribution of the skin friction drag on the section 2 m < x < 2.5 m to the total drag force.

Calculate the total drag force due to skin friction on one side of the plate per unit width.
