Question: A 3 0 , 8 0 0 - tonne ship is 2 2 0 m long with a required speed of 2 0 knots. Its

A 30,800-tonne ship is 220 m long with a required speed of 20 knots. Its resistance test model is
5 m long. Based on the principles of geometrical and dynamical similitude, determine the following, assuming 15\deg C seawater for the ship, and 15\deg C fresh water for the model.
a) The required displacement of the model in kilograms.
b) The model speed (m/sec) to represent the ship at 20 knots.
c) The Froude numbers of the model and ship at their respective speeds.
d) The Reynolds numbers of the model and ship at their respective speeds.
