A spherical balloon that is to be used in air at 60F and atmospheric pressure is tested
Question:
A spherical balloon that is to be used in air at 60°F and atmospheric pressure is tested by towing a 1/12-scale model in a lake. The model is 1.4 ft in diameter, and a drag of 37 lbf is measured when the model is being towed in deep water at 5 ft /s. What drag (in pounds force and newtons) can be expected for the prototype in air under dynamically similar conditions? Assume that the water temperature is 60°F.
Step by Step Answer:
Consider the relation between the Reynolds number of model and prototype Here Re m Reynolds number f...View the full answer

In this video, the concept of pressure has been explained. The bottle is filled up with water, remove the pipe, and now you can see the clear flow of water from the holes due to liquid pressure.You can see that the second layer is holding the weight of the first layer and the third layer holding the weight of both upper layers, that’s why liquid flows out wider from the third as compared to the first two.At the first hole, water doesn’t roll along the walls; it flows out at an angle.At the second hole, you’ll see that the water flows out at a wider angle as compared to the first hole.At the third hole, we can see that the flow of water is much wider/greater than the other holes.This proves that the pressure at the bottom of the bottle is much more than the pressure at the top layers.
