CD = (2*FD)/(A*ρliquid*vs^2)
This formula uses 5 Variables
Variables Used
Drag Coefficient - Drag Coefficient is a dimensionless quantity that is used to quantify the drag or resistance of an object in a fluid environment, such as air or water.
Drag Force - (Measured in Newton) - Drag Force is the resisting force experienced by an object moving through a fluid.
Area - (Measured in Square Meter) - The area is the amount of two-dimensional space taken up by an object.
Liquid Density - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Liquid Density is mass per unit volume of the liquid.
Settling Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Settling velocity is defined as the terminal velocity of a particle in still fluid.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Drag Force: 80 Newton --> 80 Newton No Conversion Required
Area: 50 Square Meter --> 50 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Liquid Density: 49 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> 49 Kilogram per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Settling Velocity: 1.5 Meter per Second --> 1.5 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
CD = (2*FD)/(A*ρliquid*vs^2) --> (2*80)/(50*49*1.5^2)
Evaluating ... ...
CD = 0.0290249433106576
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
0.0290249433106576 --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
0.0290249433106576 0.029025 <-- Drag Coefficient
