Question:

The drag of a sonar transducer is to be predicted, based on wind tunnel test data. The prototype, a 1-ft diameter sphere, is to be towed at 5 knots (nautical miles per hour) in seawater at 40 F. The model is 6 in. in diameter. Determine the required test speed in air. If the drag of the model at these test conditions is 0.60 lbf, estimate the drag of the prototype.
