Force exerted by body on supersonic plane

Go Force = (Density of Fluid Circulating*(Length of Aeroplane^2)*(Velocity of Body or Fluid^2))*((Dynamic Viscosity of Fluid)/(Density of Fluid Circulating*Velocity of Body or Fluid*Length of Aeroplane))*((Bulk Modulus)/(Density of Fluid Circulating*Velocity of Body or Fluid^2))

Total force exerted by fluid on body

Go Force = (Coefficient of Drag for Body in Fluid*Projected Area of Body*Density of Fluid Circulating*(Velocity of Body or Fluid^2)/2)+(Lift Coefficient for Body in Fluid*Projected Area of Body*Density of Fluid Circulating*(Velocity of Body or Fluid^2)/2)

Drag Force for body moving in Fluid

Go Drag Force on Body in Fluid = (Coefficient of Drag for Body in Fluid*Projected Area of Body*Mass of Flowing Fluid*(Velocity of Body or Fluid)^2)/(Volume of Flowing Fluid*2)

Area of body for Lift Force in body moving on Fluid

Go Projected Area of Body = Lift Force on Body in Fluid/(Lift Coefficient for Body in Fluid*0.5*Density of Fluid Circulating*(Velocity of Body or Fluid^2))

Drag Force for body moving in Fluid of Certain Density

Go Drag Force on Body in Fluid = Coefficient of Drag for Body in Fluid*Projected Area of Body*Density of Fluid Circulating*(Velocity of Body or Fluid^2)/2

Skin Friction Drag from Total Drag Force on Sphere

Go Skin Friction Drag on Sphere = 2*pi*Dynamic Viscosity of Fluid*Diameter of Sphere in Fluid*Velocity of Body or Fluid

Pressure Drag from Total Drag Force on Sphere

Go Pressure Drag Force on Sphere = pi*Dynamic Viscosity of Fluid*Diameter of Sphere in Fluid*Velocity of Body or Fluid

Total Drag force on Sphere

Go Total Drag Force on Sphere = 3*pi*Dynamic Viscosity of Fluid*Diameter of Sphere in Fluid*Velocity of Body or Fluid

Power Required to Keep Flat Plate in Motion

Go Power to Keep Plate in Motion = Drag Force on Body in Fluid*Velocity of Body or Fluid
