Chapter 1, Problem 1.27

(choose chapter or problem)

An important dimensionless parameter in certain types of fluid flow problems is the Froude number defined as \(V/ \sqrt{g \ell}\), where V is a velocity, g the acceleration of gravity, and \(\ell\) a length. Determine the value of the Froude number for \(V = 10~ \mathrm {ft/s},~ g=32.2~ \mathrm{ft/s^2}\) and \(\ell = 2 \mathrm {ft.}\) Recalculate the Froude number using SI units for \(V, g\), and \(\ell\). Explain the significance of the results of these calculations.
