Question
A rectangular plate of very small thickness with a width, w and a height, h is placed normal
to a flowing fluid. Knowing that the drag force, D exerted by the fluid onto the plate is a
function of its width and height, the fluid viscosity, µ, fluid density, p, and the velocity of
the fluid, V.
(a) Express each of the variables in terms of basıc dimensions.
(b) Derive the suitable set of pi term(s) if the problem is to be studied experimentally.
