In this worksheet, we will use the drag equations to calculate drag force. Assume the following:

1 liter bottle with radius = 40 mm.
The drag coefficient is 0.299 for the 150 mm long nose cone.
Velocity is 30 m/s.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Drag force is given by the equation: 1/2 * drag coefficient * density * area * velocity^2.

So drag force = 1/2 * 0.299 * density * 3.14 * (40/1000)^2 * 30^2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

plz provide the density

w/ density, the drag force can be calculated:

drag force = drag coefficient * cross-section area * .5 * density * Velocity^2

where drag coefficient is given as 0.299,

cross-section area = 3.14*0.04^2

Velocity given as 30
