Question

Principle of similitude forms the basis for:

• A. comparing two identical equipments
• B. designing models so that the result can be converted to prototypes
• C. hydraulic designs
• D. performing acceptance tests

Answer 1

The correct option is B designing models so that the result can be converted to prototypes

The principle of similitude is a supplement to the scientific method advocated by Lord Rayleigh that requires that any suggested scientific law be examined for its relationship to similar law.

This principle forms the basis for designing models so that the result can be converted to prototypes.

Hence, option B is correct.
