(a) 0.074

(b) 0.0037

(c) 0.027

(d) 0.0074

Correct choice is (B) 0.0037

To explain: The turbulent skin-friction coefficient, Cf=\(\FRAC {0.074}{\SQRT[5]{Re_c}}\). Putting the given values, we get the answer as 0.01328. This is the coefficient for any one side of the AIRFOIL and is the same for both top and bottom surfaces.
