law of corresponding times

law of corresponding times

[¦lȯ əv ‚kär·ə¦spänd·iŋ ′tīmz] (mechanics) The principle that the times for corresponding motions of dynamically similar systems are proportional to L/V and also to √(L/G), where L is a typical dimension of the system, V a typical velocity, and G a typical force per unit mass.
