Standard air flows past a flat surface, and velocity

Chapter 1, Problem 1.83

(choose chapter or problem)

Standard air flows past a flat surface, and velocity measurements near the surface indicate the following distribution:

The coordinate y is measured normal to the surface and u is the velocity parallel to the surface. (a) Assume the velocity distribution is of the form

               \(u=C_1 y + C_2 y^3\)

and use a standard curve-fitting technique to determine the constants \(C_1\) and \(C_2\). (b) Make use of the results of part (a) to determine the magnitude of the shearing stress at the wall (y = 0) and at y = 0.05 ft.
