(a)
The drag force.
(a)
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Pressure is 83.4 kPa.
Temperature is
Wind velocity is
Dimension of the plate is
Calculation:
Obtain the dynamic viscosity of air as
Calculate the density of air.
The Reynolds number is,
Thus the flow is turbulent. Hence the friction coefficient is given by,
The drag force is,
Thus, the drag force is
