Abstract
IN this paper an examination is made of some of the evidence on which the resistance law of a smooth flat plate with turbulent boundary layer is based. It is shown that a power index law for the resistance agrees with experiment quite as well as formula; involving logarithms. The suggested new value for the coefficient of
