Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A scale model of a boat has a length of 0.8 m and is tested in water. Given that the dynamic viscosity of water is 1 mPa.s, and you are tasked to find the Reynolds number for a prototype boat of length 20 m at the same speed of 4 m/s.

💡 Hint: Use standard water density of approximately 1000 kg/m³.

Question 2

An object is moving through a fluid at a velocity where viscous forces equal inertia forces. If the object has a diameter of 10 cm and is experiencing a shear stress of 3 Pa, calculate the force exerted on the object by the fluid.

💡 Hint: Don’t forget to convert diameter into meters.
