An incompressible fluid flows over a flat plate with zero pressure gradient. The boundary layer thickness is $$1mm$$ at a location where the Reynolds number is $$1000$$. If the velocity of the fluid alone is increased by a factor of $$4,$$ then the boundary layer thickness sat the same location, in $$mm$$ will be

Consider a steady incompressible flow through a channel as shown below.
The velocity profile is uniform with a value of $${u_0}$$ at the inlet section $$A$$. The velocity profile at section B down stream is
$$$u\left\{ {\matrix{ {{V_m}{y \over \delta },} & {0 \le y \le \delta } \cr {{V_m},} & {\delta \le y \le H - \delta } \cr {{V_m}{{H - y} \over \delta },} & {H - \delta \le y \le H} \cr } } \right.$$$The ratio $${{{V_m}} \over {{u_0}}}$$ is

A smooth flat plate with a sharp leading edge is placed along a gas stream flowing at $$U = 10\,m/s.$$ The thickness of the boundary layer at section $$r$$- $$s$$ is $$10$$ $$mm,$$ the breadth of the plate is $$1$$ $$m$$ (into the paper) and the density of the gas, $$\rho = 1.0\,kg/{m^3}.$$ Assume that the boundary layer is thin, two-dimensional, and follows a linear velocity distribution, $$u = U\left( {y/\delta } \right),$$ at the section $$r$$-$$s$$, where $$y$$ is the height from plate.
The mass flow rate (in kg/s) across the section $$q$$-$$r$$ is
