A one-fourth scale model of an airplane is to be tested in water. The airplane has a velocity of 700 km/h in air at −50°C. The water temperature in the test section is 10°C. In order to achieve similarity between the model and the prototype, the test is done at a water velocity of 393 km/h. The properties of air at 1 atm and −50°C: ? = 1.582 kg/m3, ? = 1.474 × 10−5 kg/m·s. The properties of water at 1 atm and 10°C: ? = 999.7 kg/m3, ? = 1.307 × 10−3 kg/m·s. If the average drag force on the model is measured to be 13,800 N, the drag force on the prototype is (a) 590 N (b) 862 N (c) 1109 N (d ) 4655 N (e) 3450 N

The drag force on a submarine, which is moving on the surface, is to be determined by a test on
a model which is scaled down to one-twentieth of the prototype. The test is to be carried in a
towing tank, where the model submarine is moved along a channel of liquid. The density and the
kinematic viscosity of the seawater are 1010 kg/m³ and 1.3x10-6 m 2/s, respectively. The speed
of the prototype is 2.6 m/s. Assume that F = f(V, L. g. p.), using pi-theorem and similarity
principle to:
a) Determine the speed at which the model should be moved in the towing tank.
