A rotary mixer is constructed from two circular disks as shown. The mixer is rotated at 60 rpm in a large vessel containing a brine solution (SG = 1.1, μbrine=1.07×10-3 Pa-s). Determine the appropriate coefficient of drag using Low Reynolds Drag Coefficient. Neglect the drag on the rods and the motion induced in the liquid. Estimate the minimum torque and power required to drive the mixer.

A helicopter is hovering at an altitude where the density of air is
1.165 kg/m³. The helicopter rotor disc has a diameter of 9 m and is
rotating at 466 rpm, with the blades having a chord of 0.16 m.
Estimate the drag force in newtons per unit span along an elemental
strip at the mid-span of the blade. You may assume the drag
coefficient of the blade at the mid-span is 0.025.
