Drag Force Offered by Fluid Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Drag force = (Coefficient of Drag*Area*Water Density*((Velocity of fall)^2)/2)
F_d = (C_D*A*ρ_water*((v)^2)/2)
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Drag force - (Measured in Newton) - Drag force is the resisting force experienced by an object moving through a fluid.
Coefficient of Drag - The Coefficient of Drag 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.
Area - (Measured in Square Meter) - The area is the amount of two-dimensional space taken up by an object.
Water Density - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Water Density is mass per unit of water.
Velocity of fall - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Velocity of fall is defined as the velocity at which a particle is falling in a medium.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Coefficient of Drag: 0.01 --> No Conversion Required
Area: 50 Square Meter --> 50 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Water Density: 1000 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> 1000 Kilogram per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Velocity of fall: 2 Meter per Second --> 2 Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

F_d = (C_D*A*ρ_water*((v)^2)/2) --> (0.01*50*1000*((2)^2)/2)

Evaluating ... ...

F_d = 1000

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1000 Newton --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1000 Newton <-- Drag force
