The lift force, F, of a V-2 rocket missile is a function of its length, L, velocity, V, average diameter, D, angle of attack, a, air density, p, and bulk modulus of elasticity of air, K. Using dimensional analysis, the expression for lift force was determined and is given by F = CLPV²LD where cL is the lift coefficient which is a function of the Mach number. Using the derived equation, calculate the lift force, in N, of a 1.2-meter average diameter V-2 rocket missile with length of 30 meters travelling at a velocity of 240 m/s at an angle of attack of 6º. Assume air density and bulk modulus of elasticity to be constant at 1.25 kg/m³ and 50 kPa, respectively. Use the provided figure in determining the lift coefficient of the rocket.

Determine the form of an equation for the distance (s) that a sphere will fall in time t, if it starts with an initial velocity and the resistance of the fluid through which it falls is taken into consideration. Resistance is dependent upon the density (ρ) and viscosity (μ) of the medium and the diameter (d) and mass (m) of the sphere. Hence in addition to g, v and t these factors are incorporated.

When small aerosol particles or microorganisms move through air or water, the Reynolds number is very small (Re << 1). Such flows are called creeping flows. The drag on an object in creeping flow is a function only of its speed V, some characteristic length scale L of the object, and fluid viscosity µ. Use dimensional analysis to generate a relationship for the drag force FD as a function of the independent variables.
