Multiple choice

A flat plate is kept in an infinite fluid medium. The fluid has a uniform free stream velocity parallel to the plate. For the laminar boundary layer formed on the plate, pick the correct option matching:

 
Column I Column II
P. Boundary layer thickness 1. decreases in the flow direction
Q. Shear stress at the plate 2. increases in the flow direction
R. Pressure gradient along the plate 3. remains unchanged

  1. P - 1, Q - 2, R - 3

  2. P - 2, Q - 2, R - 2

  3. P - 1, Q - 1, R - 1

  4. P - 2, Q - 1, R - 3
