The drag‚ FD‚ on a sphere located in a pipe through which a fluid is flowing is to be determined experimentally. Assume that the drag is a function of the sphere diameter‚ d; the pipe diameter‚ D; the fluid velocity‚ v; and the fluid density‚ ρ. (a) What dimensionless parameters would you use for this problem? (b) Some experiments using water indicate that for d = 0.005 m‚ D = 0.0125 m‚ and v = 0.6 m/s‚ the drag is 6.5×10-3 N. If possible‚ estimate the drag on a sphere located in a 0.6 m diameter
