A balance reads a normal force of \( 240 \) N at a dynamic pressure of \( 1500 \) Pa on a model of \( 0.4 \) m\( ^2 \) reference area. The force coefficient is

  • A.1.60
  • B.0.40
  • C.0.60
  • D.0.25

Answer: B

Dividing through, \( 240 / (1500 \times 0.4) = 240/600 = 0.40 \). Reducing raw balance readings to coefficients in this way is what makes the result transferable to full scale, provided the similarity conditions have been respected.
