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

Substituting Input Values in Formula

F_R = F_D+F_L --> 80.05+20.45

Evaluating ... ...

F_R = 100.5

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

100.5 Newton --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

100.5 Newton <-- Aerodynamic Force

What is aerodynamic force?

In fluid mechanics, an 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.

How to Calculate Aerodynamic Force?

Aerodynamic Force calculator uses Aerodynamic Force = Drag Force+Lift Force to calculate the Aerodynamic Force, Aerodynamic Force is a measure of the total force exerted on an object, consisting of the drag force, which opposes the motion, and the lift force, which is perpendicular to the direction of motion. Aerodynamic Force is denoted by F_R symbol.

How to calculate Aerodynamic Force using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Aerodynamic Force, enter Drag Force (F_D) & Lift Force (F_L) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Aerodynamic Force calculation can be explained with given input values -> 100.45 = 80.05+20.45.

FAQ

What is Aerodynamic Force?

Aerodynamic Force is a measure of the total force exerted on an object, consisting of the drag force, which opposes the motion, and the lift force, which is perpendicular to the direction of motion and is represented as F_R = F_D+F_L or Aerodynamic Force = Drag Force+Lift Force. The Drag Force is the resisting force experienced by an object moving through a fluid & 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.

How to calculate Aerodynamic Force?

Aerodynamic Force is a measure of the total force exerted on an object, consisting of the drag force, which opposes the motion, and the lift force, which is perpendicular to the direction of motion is calculated using Aerodynamic Force = Drag Force+Lift Force. To calculate Aerodynamic Force, you need Drag Force (F_D) & Lift Force (F_L). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Drag Force & Lift Force and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.
