If Reynolds number is greater than 1, then the_____________________?
Correct answer: B. Inertia force is larger than the viscous force
- A. Viscous force is larger than the inertia force
- B. Inertia force is larger than the viscous force
- C. Inertia force is larger than the surface tension force
- D. Inertia force is larger than the gravitational force
Explanation
Reynolds number is the ratio of inertial force to viscous force. Therefore, when Re exceeds one, inertial effects are greater than viscous effects.
