Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A champion swimmer competes in a pool that is modeled at a 1/2 scaling of length. If their actual swimming time is 50 seconds for a length of 100 meters, calculate the modeled time for the swimming in a modeled pool if the Froude number is maintained.
💡 Hint: Remember to calculate the velocity ratio properly.
In river modeling, if a prototype discharge is 300 m³/s and the scaling ratio is 1:100, calculate the discharge needed for the model keeping in mind the discharge ratio's influence.
💡 Hint: Focus on using discharge ratio in relation to the given scaling.
