This formula uses 1 Constants, 4 Variables
Constants Used
[g] - Gravitational acceleration on Earth Value Taken As 9.80665
Variables Used
Drag Coefficient - Drag Coefficient is a dimensionless quantity that is used to quantify the drag or resistance of an object in a fluid environment, such as air or water.
Specific Gravity of Material - Specific Gravity of Material is a dimensionless unit defined as the ratio of the density of the material to the density of water at a specified temperature.
Diameter - (Measured in Meter) - Diameter is a straight line passing from side to side through the center of a body or figure, especially a circle or sphere.
Settling Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Settling velocity is defined as the terminal velocity of a particle in still fluid.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Specific Gravity of Material: 2.4 --> No Conversion Required
Diameter: 10 Meter --> 10 Meter No Conversion Required
Settling Velocity: 1.5 Meter per Second --> 1.5 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
CD = 4*[g]*(SG-1)*D/(3*vs^2) --> 4*[g]*(2.4-1)*10/(3*1.5^2)
Evaluating ... ...
CD = 81.3588740740741
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
81.3588740740741 --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
81.3588740740741 81.35887 <-- Drag Coefficient
