A wood is in a shape of rectagnular paralleliped with square as base is used as a buoy floating in salt water. A man weighing 70kg stands still on the top of the buoy and it still floats with a period of verticol bobbing of 0.83s. When the ma moves away from the buoy, the period of bobbing becomes 0.69s. Determine the dimensions in meters of the wood. SGwood=0.60 & SGsaltwater=1.03. Assume that the wood will upright at all times.

1. The thrust T of a marine propeller is assumed to depend only on its diameter D, the fluid density ρ, the viscosity µ, the revolutions per unit time ω, and its forward velocity V . Express this dependence in nondimensional terms. 2. In Section 1.6.3, it was argued that the viscosity must depend on the average molecular speed , the number density ρ and the mean free path `. Express this dependence in nondimensional terms.
