Textbook Question
Chapter 7, Problem 36P
This is a follow-tip to Prob. 7-34. The students measure the aerodynamic drag on their model submarine in the wind tunnel (Fig. P7-34). They are careful to run the wind tunnel at conditions that ensure similarity with the prototype submarine. Their measured drag force is 5.70 N. Estimate the drag force on the prototype submarine at the conditions given in Prob. 7-34. Answer: 25.5 N
