Consider laminar steady boundary layer at a flat plate. Assumethe velocity profile in the boundary layer as parabolic, u(y)=U(2(y/δ)-(y/δ)^2).

1. Calculate the thickness of the boundary layer, δ(x), as afunction of Reynold's number.

2. Calculate the shear stress at the surface, Ï„, as a functionof Reynold's number.
