The two rectangular smooth flat plates are to have the same drag in the same fluid stream. Calculate the required value of \(x\). If the two plates are combined into the \(\mathrm{T}\)-shape indicated, what ratio exists between the drag of the combination and that of either one? Assume laminar boundary layers in all calculations.
