Ex. The force required to tow a 1:30scale model of a motor boat in a lake at a speed of 2m/s is 0.5 N, Assuming that the viscosity resistance due to water and air is negligible in comparison with the wave resistance, calculate the corresponding speed of the prototype for dynamically similar conditions. What would be the force required to propel the prptype at that velocity in the same lake? Ans.: 10.95m/s, 13500N

PROPAGATION OF ERROR You are tasked to supervise the design of 0.5MW wind turbine to be constructed in a Wind Farm in Pililla, Rizal. Suppose the design criteria are as follows: The air density as surveyed after 2 year period averaged at 1.225 kg / cubic meter. The sweeping diameter of the rotor blades is 125m, and the anemometer reading in the area amounts to 4.2m/s on a 2 year period of survey. if the diameter measurement is off by 0.1m and the anemometer reading is also fluctuating by 0.05m/s. In the design specifications given, if the actual measurement of power via the substation amounts to exactly 530kW and given that the windspeed is off by 0.05m/s, what could have been the error in the measurement of diameter? Your answer must be in 3 decimal places and in correct signs and measurement. Show complete solution in paper.
The flow rate in a rectangular open channel can be measured by placing a plate along the channel as seen in the figure. This type of artifact is called "weir".The height of the water, H, above the ridge is referred to as "head" and can be used to determine the flow through the channel. Assume that flow Q is a function of H, channel width, b, and gravity, g.Determine a correct array of dimensionless variables for this problem.
