Chapter 9, Problem 2RQ
  1. 2. While researching fluid dynamics, you came across a reference to the dimensionless number called the capillary number, given by the equation below.

C a = μ υ γ

where:

µ = fluid viscosity [=]g/ (ms)

υ = velocity [=] ft/s

1. While researching fluid dynamics, you come across a reference to the dimensionless number called the Laplace number, given by the equation below. SpL La = where: kg p= fluid density [=]: m3 H= fluid viscosity [=]- m-S L = length [=] ft What are the dimensions for delta, &?
Please do this carefully.
physical quantities m, r, u, a, and t with dimensions [m] = M, [r]= L, [v] = LT, [a] = LT-2, and [t] = T. Enter the dimensional expression of the quantity on the right-hand side of each equation. Your answers may contain only M, L, T, and exponents. Assume that each of the following equations is dimensionally consistent. F = ma [F] =
