(b) A 130 th scale model of the submarine is tested in a wind tunnel. For a wind speed
of 40ms, the drag force measured for the model in wind tunnel is 1 KN . Estimate
the drag force on the prototype submarine and the corresponding speod of the
submarine following similarity analysis. Take density of sea water as 1050kgm3
and that of wind as 1.2kgm3. The kinematic viscosity of sea water is 0.01 Stokes
and that of wind is 0.015 Stokes.
( b ) A 1 3 0 th scale model of the submarine is
