Question
**Problem Statement: Marine Propeller Thrust Analysis**

1. **The thrust of a marine propeller \( F_T \)** depends on various factors: water density \( \rho \), propeller diameter \( D \), speed of advance through the water \( V \), acceleration due to gravity \( g \), the angular speed of the propeller \( \omega \), the water pressure \( p \), and the water viscosity \( \mu \). Our objective is to determine a set of dimensionless variables affecting the thrust coefficient. 

   In other words, we want to express the thrust coefficient \( C_T \) as:

   \[
   C_T = \frac{F_T}{\rho V^2 D^2} = f\left(\pi_1, \pi_2, \ldots, \pi_k\right) \tag{1}
   \]

   Here, \( C_T \) is a function of the dimensionless variables \( \pi_1, \pi_2, \ldots, \pi_k \).

(a) **Explanation of \( k \):**
   - **What is \( k \)? Explain.**

(b) **Froude Number Calculation:**
   - **Find the \( \pi \)'s on the right-hand side of equation (1) if one of them HAS to be a Froude number \( \frac{gD}{V^2} \).**

This statement aims to guide students or researchers through the process of identifying and using dimensionless variables to analyze and predict the performance of a marine propeller. The specific tasks are to explain the significance of parameter \( k \) and to identify the necessary dimensionless variables, including the Froude number.
