A thin plate is aligned parallel to a freestream with the orientations

 (a) and (b) shown You can assume laminar boundary layer. The fluid 

A thin plate is aligned parallel to a freestream with the orientations (a) and (b) shown You can assume laminar boundary layer. The fluid is air at standard conditions. For each orientation, calculate: (i) The momentum thickness and displacement thickness 8, at the trailing edge of the plate. (ii) The drag of the plate. Provide a physical explanations for any difference in the drag of the two orientations. U-10 m/s 10 cm PLATE (a) 40 cm U-10 m/s 40 cm PLATE 10 cm (b)
