(a) A viscous fluid flows past a flat plate such that the boundary layer thickness at a distance 1.3 m from the leading edge is 12 mm. Determine the boundary layer thickness at distances of 0.20, 2.0, and 20 m from the leading edge. Assume laminar flow. (b) If the upstream velocity of the flow in part (a) is U = 1.5 m/s, determine the kinematic viscosity of the fluid.
