A 140 scale model of a ship is tested in a towing tank


1.The moist unit weight of a soil is 19.kN/m^3. Given that specific gravity is 2.72 and water content is 10.6%, calculate dry unit weight, void ratio, porosity, and degree of saturation.  

2.A line passes through the points (22 m, 19 m) and (-2 m,-5 m). determine the perpendicular distance d from the line to the origin O of the system of coordinates.

3.A 1:40 scale model of a ship is tested in a towing tank. Prototype operates in seawater at 60 F. Find a liquid to be used in the towing tank that allows both Froude and Reynolds scaling for the model and the prototype.
