Question: ( 2 5 pts . ) Neglecting any pressure drop in this water tunnel experiment ( U = 1 . 5 m s ) between

(25 pts.) Neglecting any pressure drop in this water tunnel experiment (U=1.5ms) between sections 1 and 2, a wake measurement is approximated as a linear distribution as shown over an oblong cylinder (60 cm width).(a) Sketch a control volume with incoming height H that follows streamlines to the edge of the wake. If L=5cm, solve for H .(b) Calculate the drag on the cylinder. (c) Predict the drag force in air for a cylinder with an increase in length by a ratio of 4(i.e.L=20cm) for flow similarity. Note between y=0(centerline) and y=L the equation u=U2(1+yL)
gives the velocity profile.
