Question: Problem 2 As air ( treated as incompressible ) flows steadily over a flat plate, frictional effect on the surface tend to form a boundary

Problem 2 As air (treated as incompressible) flows steadily over a flat plate, frictional
effect on the surface tend to form a boundary layer in which the streamwise velocity
profile changes from that of being uniform to one that is parabolic, defined by
u=[1000y-83.33**103y2]ms, where y is in meters, and 0y6mm. If the plate is
0.2 m wide (into the paper), and this change of the velocity occurs within the distance of
0.5 m , use control volume analysis to determine (use standard air density)
(a) The mass flow rate through sections AB,CD
(b) The mass flow rate through the lateral surface AC;
(c) The viscous drag on this portion of the plate (assuming the pressure is
everywhere the same and the shear stress on AC is negligible). Note: the fluid
"leaking from AC" has a horizontal velocity of 3ms
