The following statements are about the laminar boundary layer over a flat plate. For each statement, answer whether the statement is true or false. 1. At a given x-location, if the Reynolds number were to increase, the boundary layer thickness would also increase.
A. True B. False
2. As outer flow velocity increases, so does the boundary layer thickness.
A. True B. False
3. As the fluid viscosity increases, so does the boundary layer thickness.
A. True B. False
4. As the fluid density increases, so does the boundary layer thickness.
A. True B. False
5. The boundary layer equations are approximations of the Navier-Stokes equation.
A. True B. False
6. The curve representing boundary layer thickness as function of x is a streamline.
A. True B. False

Aloaded platform of total mass 500 kg is supported by a dashpot and by a set of springs of effective stiffness 72 kn/m. it is observed that when the platform is depressed through a distance x = 12.5 cm below its equilibrium position and then released without any initial velocity; it reaches its equilibrium position in the shortest possible time without overshoot. find the position and velocity of the loaded platform 0.10 sec. after its release. if a further load of 400 kg is added to the platform, find, i) the frequency of damped vibrations, and i) the amplitude of vibration after 2 complete oscillations, given that the initial amplitude is 15 cm.
