Compute fluid absolute viscosity and fluid density of body


The Reynolds number, Re, is a dimensionless number used in fluid mechanics and is defined as Re=pVD/u, where p is the fluid density, u is the fluid absolute viscosit, V is the fluid velocity, and D the characteristic length dimension of the body immersed in the moving fluid. Because this number has no units, it should be independent of the system of units chosen for p, u, V, and D. In the International system of units, p = 1.16 kg/m^3, u = 1.85*10^-5 N-s/m^2, V = 5 m/s, and D = .254 m. Using this information, compute (a) values for p, u, V, and D in the English Engineering system (b) Re based on the Internation System, and (C) Re based on the English Engineering system.
