The differential equation for small-amplitude vibrations
y(r, f) of a simple beam is given by
a*y
+ E = 0
ax
pA
where p = beam material density
A = cross-sectional area
I= area moment of inertia
E = Young's modulus
Use only the quantities p, E, and A to nondimensionalize y, x,
and t, and rewrite the differential equation in dimensionless
form. Do any parameters remain? Could they be removed
by further manipulation of the variables?
Viscosity can be measured by flow through a thin-bore or
capillary tube if the flow rate is low. For length L, (small)
diameter D« L, pressure drop Ap, and (low) volume flow
rate Q, the formula for viscosity is u = D'Ap/(CLQ), where
C is a constant.
(a) Verify that C is dimensionless. The following data are
for water flowing through a 2-mm-diameter tube which
is 1 meter long. The pressure drop is held constant at
Ap = 5 kPa.
T, °C
10.0
40.0
70.0
Q, L/min

(b) Using proper SI units, determine an average value of C
by accounting for the variation with temperature of the
viscosity of water.
The slope of the height h of a surface wave moving in a shallow pool of liquid is related to the
speed of the wave u and gravity g by the following equation
