Coefficient of Drag given Settling Velocity - Coefficient of Drag given Settling Velocity is a dimensionless quantity that is used to quantify the drag or resistance of an object, considering settling velocity.
Unit Weight of Particle - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - Unit Weight of Particle is defined as weight per unit volume of the particle.
Unit Weight of Water - (Measured in Newton per Cubic Meter) - Unit Weight of Water is the ratio of total weight to the total volume of water.
Diameter - (Measured in Meter) - Diameter is a straight line passing from side to side through the center of a body or figure, especially a circle or sphere.
Water Density - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - The Water Density refers to the measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume of water.
Settling Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Settling Velocity is defined as the terminal velocity of a particle in still fluid.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Unit Weight of Particle: 10 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 10000 Newton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
Unit Weight of Water: 9810 Newton per Cubic Meter --> 9810 Newton per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Diameter: 10 Meter --> 10 Meter No Conversion Required
Water Density: 1000 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> 1000 Kilogram per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Settling Velocity: 1.5 Meter per Second --> 1.5 Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

C_ds = ((4/3)*(γ_s-γ_w)*D)/(ρ_water*(v_s)^2) --> ((4/3)*(10000-9810)*10)/(1000*(1.5)^2)

Evaluating ... ...

C_ds = 1.12592592592593

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.12592592592593 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1.12592592592593 ≈ 1.125926 <-- Coefficient of Drag given Settling Velocity
