"A hydrofoil 0.5 m long and 2 m wide is placed in a seawater flow at 12 m/s at 20°C.

Determine the following:
(a) The boundary layer thickness at the end of the plate
(b) The friction drag for laminar-turbulent transitional flow with a Reynolds number of 5×105
(c) The friction drag for turbulent smooth-wall flow from the leading edge
(d) The friction drag for turbulent rough wall from the leading flow with a roughness of 0.0001 m"
