Drag Force with Angle of Attack Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Drag Force = Lift Force/cot(Angle of Attack)
FD = FL/cot(α)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 3 Variables
Functions Used
cot - Cotangent is a trigonometric function that is defined as the ratio of the adjacent side to the opposite side in a right triangle., cot(Angle)
Variables Used
Drag Force - (Measured in Newton) - 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.
Angle of Attack - (Measured in Radian) - Angle of attack is the angle between a reference line on a body and the vector representing the relative motion between the body and the fluid through which it is moving.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Lift Force: 400.5 Newton --> 400.5 Newton No Conversion Required
Angle of Attack: 10.94 Degree --> 0.190939020168144 Radian (Check conversion here)
