Variables Used

Drag Coefficient for Fluid Flow - Drag Coefficient for Fluid Flow 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 by Fluid on Body - (Measured in Newton) - Drag Force by Fluid on Body is the resisting force experienced by an object near contacting which the fluid is flowing.
Projected Area of Body - (Measured in Square Meter) - Projected Area of Body is the two-dimensional area of a three-dimensional object by projecting its shape on to an arbitrary plane parallel to fluid flow.
Density of Moving Fluid - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Density of Moving Fluid is the density of the fluid moving over a body parallel to its surface.
Relative Velocity of Fluid Past Body - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Relative Velocity of Fluid Past Body is the velocity of the fluid flowing parallel to a body imparting force on its surface.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Drag Force by Fluid on Body: 368 Newton --> 368 Newton No Conversion Required
Projected Area of Body: 18800 Square Centimeter --> 1.88 Square Meter (Check conversion here)
Density of Moving Fluid: 998 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> 998 Kilogram per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Relative Velocity of Fluid Past Body: 14 Meter per Second --> 14 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
