The laminar boundary layer over a large flat plate held parallel to the flow is 7.2 mm thick at a point
0.33 m downstream of the leading edge. If the free stream speed is increased by 50%, then the new
boundary layer thickness at this location will be approximately
A
10.8 mm
B
8.8 mm
C
5.9 mm
D
4.8 mm

Correct : c
