Answer:
<em>screw thrust = ML</em><em> </em>
Explanation:
thrust of a screw propeller is given by the equation = p x
Re
where,
D is diameter
V is the fluid velocity
p is the fluid density
N is the angular speed of the screw in revolution per second
Re is the Reynolds number which is equal to puD/μ
where p is the fluid density
u is the fluid velocity, and
μ is the fluid viscosity = kg/m.s = M
<em>Reynolds number is dimensionless so it cancels out</em>
The dimensions of the variables are shown below in MLT
diameter is m = L
speed is in m/s = L
fluid density is in kg/ = M
N is in rad/s = L =
If we substitute these dimensions in their respective places in the equation, we get
thrust = M
= M
<em>screw thrust = ML</em><em> </em>
This is the dimension for a force which indicates that thrust is a type of force
