Problem 4: An advertising billboard is designed to withstand the bending moment during a peak wind speed of 35 m/s. A 1/18 scale model billboard is to be tested in a water channel. Determine (a) the dimensionless parameters, (b) the channel's water velocity to meet dynamic similarity, and (c) if the bending moment of the billboard is measured as 320 N-m in the water channel, what is the expected bending moment for the prototype during peak winds. Assume the fluid properties are as follows: P air = 1.2 kg/m³, P H20 = 1000 kg/m³, µ air = 1.80-10-5 kg/(m·s), and µ H20 = 1.14 · 10-3 kg/(m-s).
