For a fluid of specific gravity \(S G=0.86\) flowing past a flat plate with an upstream velocity of \(U=5 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\), the wall shear stress on the flat plate was determined to be as indicated in the table below. Use the momentum integral equation to determine the boundary layer momentum thickness, \(\Theta=\Theta(x)\). Assume \(\Theta=0\) at the leading edge, \(x=0\).
