5.13 The torque due to the frictional resistance of the oil film between a rotating shaft and its bearing is found to be dependent on the force F normal to the shaft, the speed of rotation N of the shaft, the dynamic viscosity of the oil, and the shaft diameter D. Establish a correlation among these variables by using dimensional analysis.
When fluid in a pipe is accelerated linearly from rest, it begins as laminar flow andthen undergoes transition to turbulence at a time ttr which depends upon the pipe diameter D,fluid acceleration a, density ρ, and viscosity µ. Arrange this into a dimensionless relationbetween ttr and D. (Fluid Mechanics)

He assumed that the energy released E, was a function of blastwave radius R, air density ρ, and time t. Arrange these variables into single dimensionless group, which we mayterm the blast wave number.

The flow rate in a rectangular open channel can be measured by placing a plate along the channel as seen in the figure. This type of artifact is called "weir".The height of the water, H, above the ridge is referred to as "head" and can be used to determine the flow through the channel. Assume that flow Q is a function of H, channel width, b, and gravity, g.Determine a correct array of dimensionless variables for this problem.
