Aerodynamic force Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Aerodynamic Force = Drag Force+Lift Force
F_R = F_D+F_L
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Aerodynamic Force - (Measured in Newton) - Aerodynamic force is a force exerted on a body by the air in which the body is immersed, and is due to the relative motion between the body and the gas.
Drag Force - (Measured in Newton) - The Drag Force is the resisting force experienced by an object moving through a fluid.
Lift Force - (Measured in Newton) - The lift force, lifting force or simply lift is the sum of all the forces on a body that force it to move perpendicular to the direction of flow.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Drag Force: 80.05 Newton --> 80.05 Newton No Conversion Required
Lift Force: 20.45 Newton --> 20.45 Newton No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
