Question
A cylinder with a diameter D, floats upright in a liquid as shown in Figure Q4. When the
cylinder is displaced slightly along its vertical axis, it will oscillate about its equilibrium
position with a frequency, o. Assume that this frequency is a function of the diameter, D,
the mass of the cylinder, m, and the specific weight, y, of the liquid. With the aid of
dimensional analysis, answer the following questions in sequence.
(a) List all the variables that are involved in the problem.
(b) Express each of the variables in term of basic dimensions using the FLT system.
(c) Determine the required number of pi terms.
(d)
Form the pi term(s) by inspection using the FLT system.
(e) Check the resulting pi term(s) using the MLT system.
(f) How is the frequency related to these variables?
(g)
If the mass of the cylinder is increased, would the frequency increase or decrease?
