Coefficient of Drag for Winds Measured at 10 m given Drag Force due to Wind Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Coefficient of Drag = Drag Force/(0.5*Air Density*Projected Area of the Vessel*Wind Speed at Height of 10 m^2)
C_D' = F_D/(0.5*ρ_air*A*V₁₀^2)
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Coefficient of Drag - 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.
Drag Force - (Measured in Newton) - Drag Force is the resisting force experienced by an object moving through a fluid.
Air Density - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Air Density refers to the mass of air per unit volume, typically measured in kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³).
Projected Area of the Vessel - (Measured in Square Meter) - Projected Area of the Vessel refers to the horizontal cross-sectional area that the vessel presents to the flow of water.
