4 (b) Find the displacement thickness, the momentum thickness and energy thickness for the velocity distribution in the boundary layer given by
u/U=2(y/δ)-(y/δ)2

5 (a) Determine the length of the back water curve caused by an afflux of 2.0 meter in a rectangular channel of width 40 meter and depth 2.5 meter. The slope of the bed is given as 1 in 11000. Take Manning's N=0.03.

5 (b) A kite 0.8 m × 0.8 m weighing 4.0 N assumes an angle of 12° to the horizontal. The string attached to the kite makes an angle of 45° to the horizontal. The pull on the string is 25N, when the wind is flowing at a speed of 30 km/hr. Find the corresponding co-efficient of drag and lift. Density of air is given as 1.25kg/m3.
