10. The modern ship today is equipped with a propeller as the
main propulsion mechanism. The thrust, T is known to be a function
of the radius, r, the fluid density, ρ, the relative velocity of
the ship to the water, U, rotation speed, rpm or N, and fluid
viscosity, μ. Assume that no other parameter affects the thrust,
find the functionality of these parameters and the thrust. Use
Buckingham pi theory Answer: T/ρU2 r 2 = f(ρUr/µ)g(rN/U)
