Question:

A thin flat plate is installed in a water tunnel as a splitter. The plate is \(0.3 \mathrm{~m}\) long and \(1 \mathrm{~m}\) wide. The freestream speed is \(1.6 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\). Laminar boundary layers form on both sides of the plate. The boundary-layer velocity profile is approximated as parabolic. Determine the total viscous drag force on the plate assuming that pressure drag is negligible.
