Calculate the reynolds number for a person swimming through maple syrup. the density of syrup is about 1400 kg/m^3 and the viscosity is about 0.5 pa's. a person is about 2m in length and can swim about 1 m/s.

The Reynolds number is 5600.

Explanation:

Given that,

Density = 1400 kg/m³

Viscosity = 0.5 Pa's

Length = 2 m

Speed = 1 m/s

We need to calculate the Reynolds number

Using formula of Reynolds number

Where, = density of fluid

v = speed of syrup

l = length of a person

=Viscosity

Put the all value into the formula

Hence, The Reynolds number is 5600.
