Question:

An important dimensionless parameter in certain types of fluid flow problem is the Froude number defined as V/√gl, where V is a velocity, g the acceleration of gravity, and a length. Determine the value of the Froude number for = 10 ft/s, g = 32.2 ft/s2, and l= 2 ft. recalculate the Froude number using SI units for V, g and l, explain the significance of the result of these calculations.
