Oil ( = 10 2 N s /m 2 ; = 900 kg/m 3 ) flows

Question:

Oil (μ = 10–2 N∙s/m2; ρ = 900 kg/m3) flows past a plate in a tangential direction so that a boundary layer develops. If the velocity of approach is 4 m/s, then at a section 30 cm downstream of the leading edge the ratio of τδ (shear stress at the edge of the boundary layer) to τ0 (shear stress at the plate surface) is approximately 

(a) 0,

(b) 0.24,

(c) 2.4, or

(d) 24.
