Water is flowing over a thin smooth plate of length 5 m and width 3 m at a velocity of 1.2 m/s. If the boundary layer flow changes from laminar to turbulent at a Reynolds number 5 x 105, find i) the distance from the leading edge up to which boundary layer is laminar, ii) thickness of the boundary layer at the transition point and iii) total drag force on both sides of the plate. Viscosity of water is taken as 0.01 poise. Water is flowing over a thin smooth plate of length 5 m and width 3 m at a velocity of 1.2 m/s.
