Suppose you are considering a spring-dashpot system as a model to describe some process. The spring behavior can be described by Hooke's law, F = kx, where x is a displacement, F is the force, and k is the spring constant. The Newtonian dashpot behavior is described by F = uv, where v is the velocity, and u is the viscous coefficient (not viscosity). You wish to determine the characteristic frequency of the system. Using dimensional analysis, find the dimensionless parameters governing this frequency.

The Reynolds number is a dimensionless group defined as follows for a liquid that flows through a pipe: Re = Dvρ / μ where D is the diameter of the pipe, v is the velocity of the fluid, ρ is its density and µ its viscosity. When the Reynolds number value is less than 2100, the flow is laminar, that is, the liquid it moves in lines of smooth flow. For Reynolds numbers greater than 2100, the flow is turbulent, characterized by considerable agitation. Liquid Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK) flows through 2067 '' ID tubing and through an average velocity of 0.48 ft / s. If the fluid temperature is 20 ° C, the density of the MEK The liquid is 0.805 g / cm and the viscosity is 0.43 cP (1 cP = 1.00 x 10 kg / (m-s)]. Determine the Reynolds number for MEK flow conditions. (Round the final result to a whole number without decimals).
