Drag forces experiment
Drag force: Is the force on an object that resist its
motion
It is also called air resistance acting on opposite to the
relative motion of moving objects.
It can be exist between two fluid layers or a fluid and
solid surface.
Drag force always decrease fluid velocity and moving
object velocity.
It is aerodynamic force that opposes aircraft’s motion
through the air.
It is a vector quantity that have both magnitude and
direction.
Drag force depends on:
1.the density of air(𝜌)
2.the square of velocity of air relative to object(v²)
3.the air viscosity and compressibility
4.the size and shape of the body(A=projected area)
5.body’s inclination to the flow
6.drag coefficient(cd)
