The full-size ship is 150 ft long and designed to cruise at 15 knots and 20 knots in a
freshwater lake (1 knot = 1.68781 ft/s).
a. How many dimensionless groups can be obtained? Why?
b. Use dimensional analysis to prove that the functional relationship of the drag
force D=f(p, V, L, g, µ) can be simplified to Cd=f(Fr, Re), where

c.
If the drag coefficient and Fr number are conserved, estimate the drag force
for the full-size ship at the two cruising velocities.
d. If the drag coefficient and Re number are conserved, estimate the drag force
for the full-size ship at the two cruising velocities.
