Calculate the viscous drag force on this plate

Reference no: EM13542326

An engineer is designing a horizontal, rectangular conduit that will be part of a system that allows fish to bypass a damn. Inside the conduit a flow of water at 40 F will be divided into two streams by a flat, rectangular metal plate. Calculate the viscous drag force on this plate, assuming boundary-layer flow with free-stream velocity of 15 ft/s and plate dimensions of L = 8 ft and W = 4 ft.
