How to Evaluate Froude Scaling?

Froude Scaling evaluator uses Froude Scaling = sqrt(Inertia Forces/Forces Due to Gravity) to evaluate the Froude Scaling, The Froude Scaling formula is defined as the scaling based upon the square root of the ratio of Inertia or Pressure forces to that of the gravitation forces, after Robert Edmund Froude. Froude Scaling is denoted by Fn symbol.
