plate 450 mm x 150 mm has been placed longitudinally in a stream of crude oil (specific gravity 0.925 and kinematic viscosity of 9.0 x 10-5 m2/s) which flows with velocity of 6 m/s. Calculate: (i) the friction drag on the plate; (ii) the thickness of the boundary layer at a distance 215 mm from the trailing edge;(iii) the thickness of the boundary layer at the trailing edge;  (iv) shear stress at the trailing edge.
