Use dimensional analysis to show that in a problem involving shallow water waves (Fig. P7–87), both the Froude number and the Reynolds number are relevant dimensionless parameters. The wave speed c of waves on the surface of a liquid is a function of depth h, gravitational acceleration g, fluid density ρ, and fluid viscosity μ. Manipulate your ∏’s to get the parameters into the following form:
