Q3/ A flat plate 1.5 m long and 0.3 m wide is towed at 3 m/s in a towing basin containing water (u-1x103 Pa.s), and the drag force is observed to be 14 N. Calculate the dimensions of a similar plate which will yield dynamically similar conditions in an airstream (101.4 kPa, and u=1x10$ Pa.s) having a velocity of 18 m/s. What drag force may be expected on this plate?
