Q2. Use the 1/7 power-law profile and Blasius's correlation for shear stress to compute the drag force due to friction and the maximum boundary layer thickness on a plate 20 ft long and 10 ft wide (for one side) if it is immersed in a flow of water of 20 ft/s velocity. The direction of flow is parallel to the 20-ft length. Assume turbulent flow to exist over the entire length of the plate. The density and viscosity of water are 1000 kg/m³ and 0.001 N-s/m², respectively. (15%)
