A 1 m wide and 3 m long flat plate, held stationary, parallel to the flow direction of a uniform on coming stream of water velocity 3 m/s, leaves a velocity profile, at its trailing edge, varying linearly from zero at the plate to the free stream velocity of 3 m/s at 5 cm away from the plate. The water flow is only on one side of the plate. Assuming the pressure to be the same everywhere in the flowing drog force on the plate will be:

Question
Transcribed Image Text:A 1 m wide and 3 m long flat plate, held
stationary, parallel to the flow direction of a uniform
on coming stream of water velocity 3 m/s, leaves a
velocity profile, at its trailing edge, varying linearly
from zero at the plate to the free stream velocity of
3 m/s at 5 cm away from the plate. The water flow
is only on one side of the plate. Assuming the
pressure to be the same everywhere in the flowing
water, the drag force on the plate will be:
