Question: ( 2 0 pts ) In order to avoid boundary layer interference, engineers design a boundary layer scoop with suction to skim off the boundary

(20 pts) In order to avoid boundary layer interference, engineers design a "boundary layer scoop" with suction to skim off the boundary layer in a large wind tunnel (see sketch). The scoop is constructed of thin sheet metal. The air is at 20C, and flows at V=62.5ms. How high (dimension h) should the scoop be at downstream distance x=1.45m in order to "skim off" the entire boundary layer?
