A thick elliptical cylinder immersed in a water stream creates the idealized wake shown. Upstream and downstream

Question:

A thick elliptical cylinder immersed in a water stream creates the idealized wake shown. Upstream and downstream pressures are equal, and Uo = 4 m/s, L = 80 cm. Find the drag force on the cylinder per unit width into the paper. Also compute the dimensionless drag coefficient CD = 2F/(ρ Uo 2bL).
