12 )

Explain the procedure for solving problems by Buckinghams theorem by considering the following problem . The resisting force R of a supersonic plane during flight can be considered as dependent upon the length of the aircraft l, velocity v, air viscosity , air density and bulk modulus of air K. Express the functional relationship between these variables and the resisting force. (16) Using Buckinghams -theorem, show that the discharge Q consumed by an oil ring is given by

Q= Nd3

]where d is the internal diameter of the

ring,N is rotational speed, is density, is viscosity, is surface tension and w is the specific weight of oil. (16)
