A 1/35th scale model ship is being tested in a tow tank to simulate the drag of the full-size prototype ship. The prototype ship is 35m long and cruises at 11m/s. Using Froude scaling, the required tow speed of the 1m long model in the tank is calculated to be 1.8m/s.

18. A belt conveyor required to deliver a crushed limestone having bulk density of 75 lb/ft 3 at
the rate of 200 tons per hour. The conveyor is to be 200ft between centers of pulley with a
rise of 25ft. The largest lumps are 4 in and constitute 15% of the total. The conveyor will
discharge over the end. For the belt speed of 200fpm, the drive motor is (use F=0.03, L0=150)
