A flat plate 1.5 m long and 1.0 m wide is towed in water at 20 o C in the direction of its length at a speed of 15 cm/s. Determine the resistance of the plate and the boundary thickness at its trailing end.

15.8

0.0944

Explanation:

L = 1.5

B = 1.0

Speed of water = 15cm

Temperature = 20⁰C

At 20⁰C

Specific weight = 9790

Kinematic viscosity v = 1.00x10^-4m²/s

Dynamic viscosity u = 1.00x10^-3

Density p = 998kg/m²

Reynolds number

= 0.15x1.5/1.00x10^-4

= 225000

S = 5

5x1.5/225000^1/2

= 0.0158

= 15.8mm

Resistance on one side of plate

F = 0.664x1x1.0x10^-3x0.15x225000^1/2

= 0.04724N

Total resistance

= 2N

= 2x0.04724

= 0.0944N

answer:

try looking it up that is always
