Question:
The plate shown in the figure is weighted at the bottom so it will fall stably and steadily in a liquid. The weight of the plate in air is 23.5 N, and the plate has a volume of 0.002 m3. Estimate the terminal velocity in freshwater at 20°C. The boundary layer is normal; that is, it is not tripped at the leading edge. In this problem, the final falling speed (terminal velocity) occurs when the weight is equal to the sum of the skin friction and buoyancy.
This problem requires an iterative solution.
