Question:

Spin plays an important role in the flight trajectory of golf, ping-pong, and tennis balls. Therefore, it is important to know the rate at which spin decreases for a ball in flight. The aerodynamic torque, \(T\), acting on a ball in flight, is thought to depend on flight speed, \(V\), air density, \(ho\), air viscosity, \(\mu\), ball diameter, \(D\), spin rate (angular speed), \(\omega\), and diameter of the dimples on the ball, \(d\). Determine the dimensionless parameters that result.
