b) What is the boundary layer thickness for the velocity of part a)?

c) What is the drag force for the velocity of part a)

d) If the velocity is 10 m/s determine the drag force on the plate.

e) Determine the drag force for part a) and d) using the drag coefficient, CD, for a thin flat plate. How do they compare with the drag forces computed in part c and d)?
