As shown in Video V9.2 and Fig. P9.53a, a kayak is arelatively streamlined object. As a first approximation in calculatingthe drag on a kayak, assume that the kayak acts as if it were a smooth,flat plate 17 ft long and 2 ft wide. Determine the drag as a function ofspeed and compare your results with the measured values given in Fig.P9.50b. Comment on reasons why the two sets of values may differ.
