Question: Problem 9 : A long flat plate is dragged inside a water pool along its length with a velocity of 4 0 c m s

Problem 9: A long flat plate is dragged inside a water pool along its length with a velocity of 40cms. Derive an expression for ratio of boundary layer thickness at the edge to boundary layer thickness at critical Reynolds number location, if the boundary layer at the edge is a turbuient BL.
The length of the plate is selected in such a way that the thickness of turbulent boundary layer at the edge is four times the thickness of critical boundary layer. Estimate the total drag on a 3 m wide plate.
