  1. The relationship between the length scale ratio (Lr) and the velocity scale ratio (Vr) in hydraulic models, in which Froude dynamic similarity is maintained, is:









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    Froude's number =
    V
    gy

    ∴ V ∝ √y
    y ∝ Lr
    ∴ V ∝ √Lr

    Correct Option: D

    Froude's number =
    V
    gy

    ∴ V ∝ √y
    y ∝ Lr
    ∴ V ∝ √Lr
