The expression known as​ Froude's number is given as Upper F equals StartFraction v squared Over gl EndFraction . This number was used in shipbuilding and also in research on dinosaurs. In this​ example, l is given as well as​ Froude's number. Find the​ velocity, v​ (in meters per​ second) of a rhinoceros. It is known that gequals9.8 meters per second squared. ​Rhinoceros: lequals​ 1.2; Froude number equals 2.6

Answer:
v=5.529\ m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

number is given as
=(v^2)/(gl)

and
number=2.6


l=1.2\ m

g=acceleration due to gravity
(9.8\ m/s^2)

calculating for
v


v^2=gl(2.6)


v=√(2.6* 9.8* 1.2)


v=√(30.576)


v=5.529\ m/s
