Question: Air at 20°C and 1 atm flows past the flat plate in Fig P7.24, the two pitot tubes are each 2 mm from the wall.

Air at 20°C and 1 atm flows past the flat plate in Fig P7.24, the two pitot tubes are each 2 mm from the wall. The manometer fluid is water at 20°C. If U = 15 m/s and L =50 cm, determine the values of the manometer readings h1 and h2 in cm. Assume laminar boundary-layer flow.
