Assertion (A): Dimpling a golf ball reduces its drag.

Reason (R): The dimples trip the boundary layer turbulent, so separation moves aft and the wake narrows.

Select the correct answer from the options below.

  • A.A is true but R is false
  • B.A is false but R is true
  • C.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
  • D.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A

Answer: C

Both statements are true and the second is the reason for the first. Deliberately bringing on the drag crisis at a lower Reynolds number collapses the pressure drag, which dominates for a bluff body. The friction penalty is trivial beside the saving, and the ball flies about twice as far.
