= = A smooth flat plate of length L = 1.5 m and width B = 1 m is placed in water with an upstream velocity of U. = 0.25 m/s. Determine the boundary layer thickness and the wall shear stress at the center and the trailing edge of the plate. Assume a laminar boundary layer. a) Determine the boundary layer thickness and the wall shear stress at the center and the trailing edge of the plate by assuming a laminar boundary layer. b) Is your assumption of a laminar boundary layer in part (a) above correct? c) Calculate the total shearing force on one side of the plate. (Take pwater = 1000 kg/m3, Vwater = 1.004 x 10-6 m2/s ) S
