Chapter 5, Problem 5.12P

The Stokes number, St, used in particle dynamics studies, is a dimensionless combination of five variables: acceleration of gravity g, viscosity μ , density ρ , particle velocity U, and particle diameter D. (a) If St is proportional to μ and inversely proportional to g, find its form. (b) Show that St is actually the quotient of two more traditional dimensionless groups.
