Question: Consider two flat plates at standard sea level atmospheric condition. One having 6 ft span and 3 ft chord, the other having 9 ft chord

Consider two flat plates at standard sea level atmospheric condition.
One having 6 ft span and 3 ft chord, the other having 9 ft chord which
are placed in different airstream. The freestream velocity for the
smaller plate is 100 fps. It is found that the total drag for the t wo
plates is the same. Find the airspeed for the larger plate. Assume full
laminar flow for smaller plate and full turbulent at larger plate.
