2 A prototype car is designed for cold weather operation in Denver (-10°C, 83 kPa, altitude 1600m, µ = 1.741 × 10−5 Pas). It's drag force is to be tested in a 1: 7 model in a wind tunnel at 150 mph under standard sea level conditions. If the model and prototype satisfy dynamic similarity what prototype velocity, in mph, is matched? Is this a reasonable test? 1 mile = 1609 m

A prototype car is designed for cold weather operation in Denver (-10°C, 83 kPa,
altitude 1600m, µ = 1.741 × 10-5 Pas). It's drag force is to be tested in a 1:7 model in a
wind tunnel at 150 mph under standard sea level conditions.
If the model and prototype satisfy dynamic similarity what prototype velocity, in mph, is
matched? Is this a reasonable test?
1 mile = 1609 m
HINT: p = pRT
