An infinite liquid of density σ lies above an infinite liquid of density ρ, the two liquids being separated by a horizontal plane interface. Show that the velocity c of propagation of waves of length λ along the interface is given by c^2 = gλ / 2π * (ρ - σ) / (ρ + σ). Prove that the group velocity of such waves is equal to one half of the phase velocity.

The time, $t,$ for oil to drain out of a viscosity calibration container depends on the fluid viscosity, $\mu,$ and density, $\rho,$ the orifice diameter, $d,$ and gravity, $g .$ Use dimensional analysis to find the functional dependence of $t$ on the other variables. Express $t$ in the simplest possible form.
As shown in Figure D, the viscosity μ of a liquid can be measured by determining the time t it takes for a sphere of diameter d to settle slowly through a distance L in a vertical cylinder of diameter D containing the liquid. Assume that (keeping in mind that L and D are constant) μ = f(L, d, D, t, Δγ), where Δγ is the difference in specific weights between the sphere and the liquid. Use dimensional analysis to show how μ is related to t and describe how such an apparatus might be used to measure viscosity.
