Textbook Question
Chapter 7, Problem 28P
A continuous belt moving vertically through a bath of viscous liquid drags a layer of liquid, of thickness h, along with it. The volume flow rate of liquid, Q, is assumed to depend on μ, ρ, g, h, and V, where V is the belt speed. Apply dimensional analysis to predict the form of dependence of Q on the other variables.

Q2/ By using the power series method make a dimensional analysis for
the following variables: The frictional torque of a disc T = f (disk
diameter D, rotating speed N, viscosity of fluid µ, and its density p).
The drag FD of the golf ball is affected by
the speed V of the ball, the diameter d of
the ball, the depth , of the dimple, the
radius r of the dimple, the density C of the
dimple, the density of air, and the viscosity
µ. Perform a dimensional analysis to
