Answer:
a
The total friction drag for the long side of the plate is 107 N
b
The total friction drag for the long side of the plate is 151.4 N
Explanation:
The first question is to obtain the friction drag when the fluid i parallel to the long side of the plate
The block representation of the this problem is shown on the first uploaded image
Where the U is the initial velocity = 6 m/s
So the equation we will be working with is

Where
is the density of SAE 10W =
This is obtained from the table of density at 20° C
is the friction drag coefficient
This coefficient is dependent on the Reynolds number if the Reynolds number is less than
then the flow is of laminar type and
= 
But if the Reynolds number is greater than
the flow would be of Turbulent type and

Where Re is the Reynolds number
To obtain the Reynolds number

where L is the length of the long side = 110 cm = 1.1 m
and
is the Dynamic viscosity of SAE 10W oil 
This is gotten from the table of Dynamic viscosity of oil
So


Since 55211.54 < 
Hence

is the area of the plate =
=
Since the area is immersed totally it should be multiplied by 2 i.e the bottom face and the top face are both immersed in the fluid



Considering the short side
To obtain the Reynolds number

Here b is the short side


Since the value obtained is not greater than
then the flow is laminar
And



The next thing to do is to obtain the total friction drag

Substituting values
