Question:

The moment exerted on a ship's rudder is studied with a 1:20 scale model in a water tunnel using the same temperature water as the river water. Inertial and viscous forces govern the fluid motion. The torque measured on the model is 10 N • m for a water tunnel velocity of 20 m/sec. Determine the corresponding water velocity and torque for the prototype.
