When using the method of repeated variables in a problem, it is determined that one of the independent Πs is given by the product between the independent variable lift force FL [N], and the repeated variables density ρ [kg/m3], velocity V [m/s], and area A [m2]. Remembering that Πs are given by the product of the primary dimensions raised to the zero power, of the type m0L0t0 T0, determine this independent Π. (the form is in the side picture)

A free-falling object such as a bungee jumper is subject to the upward force of air resistance. We assumed that this force was proportional to some power b of velocity as in FU=CdVb where FU = the upward force of air resistance [N = kg m/s2 ], Cd = drag coefficient (kg/m), and V = velocity [m/s]. An individual is suspended in a wind tunnel and the force measured for various levels of wind velocity. The result might be as listed in Table 1
The thrust F of a Free propeller, either aircraft of marine, depends upon density ρ, the rotation rate n in r/s, the diameter D, and the forward velocity V. Viscous effects are slight and neglected here. Tests of a 25-cm-diameter model aircraft propeller, in a sea-level wind tunnel, yield the following thrust data at a velocity of 20 m/s : Rotation Rate, r/min____4800____6000____8000 Measured thrust, N____6.1____19____47 Use the dimensionless data to predict the thrust, in Newtons, of a similar 1.6-m-diameter prototype propeller when rotating at 3800 r/min and flying at 225 mi/h at 4000-m standard altitude.

The speed of sound traveling through the sea is a function of temperature, salinity, and pressure.
