Question: Air flows past along a sharp edged flat plate with a free stream velocity of 1 0 m s . The plate length and width

Air flows past along a sharp edged flat plate with a free stream velocity of 10ms. The plate length and width are 6 m and 1 m .If the flow is parallel in the direction of length, evaluate the drag on one side of the plate. Take the kinematic viscosity of air as 1.510-5m2s and density of air as 1.2kgm3. The following relations for local skin friction coefficient, Cx may be useful:
Cx=0.664(Rex)-0.5 for Rex5105 and
Cx=0.0592(Rex)-0.2 for 5105
