In a steady incompressible flow of a fluid past a smooth stationary sphere, the drag force

depends on the flow velocity

, diameter

, and the dynamic viscosity

and density

of the fluid. Experiments are conducted on the same sphere at the same flow velocity using two different fluids. The density of the second fluid is two times that of the first fluid. The dynamic viscosity of the second fluid is

times that of the first fluid. If the non-dimensional force

remains the same in both the experiments, the value of

is ______.
