A thin flat plate is positioned in a wind tunnel parallel to the wind direction (Figure below). Air with a density Pa =1.25 kg/m3 and dynamic viscosity HA = 1.3 x 10-5Pa.s flows past one side of this plate with a velocity of V = 3.6m/s. The plate has a length L and a width B and the total area is A = B x L = 12m². If the total shear force is Fs= 1.4N, calculate the length of the plate L. You can assume that the whole boundary layer is laminar. B L The length of the plate is L = A correct answer is 0.02, which can be typed in as follo m. 0.02
