Amodel of a sailing yacht is towed with a small angle of attack, or leeway angle, about the vertical axis. the drag force and side force are measured separately. if the yacht hull operating in this manner can be regarded as a vertical hydrofoil in the presence of the free surface, what are the appropriate scaling laws to apply to each force component? distin- guish between parameters that should be scaled in principle and those that would be most important in a model test. in fresh water (15°c), towing- tank tests of a model 2 m long with wetted-surface area 1.5 m² give a measured drag force of 10 n and a side force of 28 n at a speed of 1.4 m/s. what are the corresponding full-scale results for a yacht 10 m long in salt water (15°c)?

At steady state, air at 200 kpa, 325 k, and mass flow rate of 0.5 kg/s enters an insulated duct having differing inlet and exit cross-sectional areas. the inlet cross-sectional area is 6 cm2. at the duct exit, the pressure of the air is 100 kpa and the velocity is 250 m/s. neglecting potential energy effects and modeling air as an 1.008 kj/kg k, determine ideal gas with constant cp = (a) the velocity of the air at the inlet, in m/s. (b) the temperature of the air at the exit, in k. (c) the exit cross-sectional area, in cm2
