What is the shear stress on the plate at given point


A thin plate 6 ft long and 3 ft wide is submerged and held stationary in a stream of water (T = 60 degree F) that has a velocity of 5 ft/s. What is the thickness of the boundary layer on the plate for Rex = 500,000 (assume the boundary layer is still laminar) At what distance downstream of the leading edge that corresponds to the critical Reynolds Number? What is the shear stress on the plate at this point?
