A 1:30 scale model of a cavitating overflow structure is to be tested in a vacuum tank

Question:

A 1:30 scale model of a cavitating overflow structure is to be tested in a vacuum tank wherein the pressure is maintained at 2.0 psia. The prototype liquid is water at \(70^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\). The barometric pressure on the prototype is \(14.5 \mathrm{psia}\). If the liquid to be used in the model has a vapor pressure of \(1.50 \mathrm{psia}\), what values of density, viscosity, and surface tension must it have for complete dynamic similarity between model and prototype?
