A smooth, flat plate of length I=6m and width b=3m is placed in water with an upstream velocity of U=0.5(m)/(s). Determine
(a) the boundary layer thickness at the center of the plate,
(b) the wall shear stress at the center of the plate,
(c) the boundary layer thickness at the trailing edge of the plate,
(d) the wall shear stress at the trailing edge of the plate.
Assume a laminar boundary layer.

(b)
! (N)/(m^(2))
(c)
