(choose chapter or problem)

An experiment is being designed to measure aerodynamic forces on a building. The model is a 1/500 scale replica of the prototype. The wind velocity on the prototype is 47 ft/s, and the density is 0.0024 slugs/ft3 The maxirnwn velocity in the wind tunnel is 300 ft/s. 1he viscosity of the air flowing for the model and the prototype is the same. Find the density needed in the wind tunnel for dynamic similarity. A force of 50 lbf is measured on the model. What will the force be on the prototype?
