problem has to be solved by dimensional analysis. First‚ we have to set up the dimensional matrix‚ FD d ρ v D M 1 0 1 0 0 L 1 1 -3 1 1 t -2 0 0 -1 0 As there are 5 parameters‚ and the rank is 3‚ so there will be two dimensionless groups or two isolated variables. The drag force is taken to be one of the isolated variable. The other will simply be the pipe diameter‚ D. This is due to the fact that D and d are having the same dimension‚ so they can not be both taken as core
