Coefficient of Drag Equation with Angle of Attack Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Drag Coefficient = 2*(sin(Angle of Attack))^3
C_D = 2*(sin(α))^3
This formula uses 1 Functions, 2 Variables

Functions Used

sin - Sine is a trigonometric function that describes the ratio of the length of the opposite side of a right triangle to the length of the hypotenuse., sin(Angle)

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.
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

Angle of Attack: 10.94 Degree --> 0.190939020168144 Radian (Check conversion here)
