Resistance R to the motion of a completely submerged body is given by R = ρV2 L2 φ , where ρ and ν are density and kinematic viscosity of the fluid while L is the length of the body and V is the velocity of flow. If resistance of a one-sixth scale airship model when tested in water at 10 m/s is 230 N, what will be the resistance in air of the airship at the corresponding speed? Kinematic viscosity of air is 13 times that of water and density of water is 810 times of air.

For most gases at standard or near standard conditions, the relationshipamong pressure, density, and temperature is given by the perfect gasequation of state: p = ρRT, where R is the specific gas constant. For airat near standard conditions, R = 287 J/(kg · K) in the International System of Units and R = 1716 ft · lb/(slug · ◦R) in the English Engineering System of Units. Using the above information, consider the following two cases:

If a scuba diver descends too quickly into the sea, the internal pressure on each eardrum remains at atmospheric pressure, while the external pressure increases due to the increased water depth. At sufficient depths, the difference between the external and internal pressures can rupture an eardrum. Eardrums can rupture when the pressure difference is as little as 35 kPa. What is the depth at which this pressure difference could occur? The density of seawater is 1025 kg/m3.
