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.
