Drag force

Input(s)

$\rho$: Density of the Fluid $\left(\mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}\right)$

v: Speed of the Object Relative to the Fluid (m/s)

$\boldsymbol{C}_{\boldsymbol{d}}$: Drag Coefficient (dimensionless)

A: Cross Sectional Area $\left(\mathrm{m}^{2}\right)$

Output(s)

$\boldsymbol{F}_{\boldsymbol{D}}$: Drag Force (N)

Formula(s)

$$ \mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{D}}=\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) * \rho * \mathrm{v}^{2} * \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{d}} * \mathrm{~A} $$
