STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Drag Coefficient = 4*[g]*(Constant a-1)*Diameter/(3*Settling Velocity^2)
C_D = 4*[g]*(a-1)*D/(3*V_s^2)
This formula uses 1 Constants, 4 Variables

Constants Used

[g] - Gravitational acceleration on Earth Value Taken As 9.80665

Variables Used

Drag Coefficient - The Drag Coefficient refers to the dimensionless quantity that is used to quantify the drag or resistance of an object in a fluid environment, such as air or water.
Constant a - The Constant a refers to the empirical constant given according to conditions in sutherland equation.
Diameter - (Measured in Meter) - The Diameter refers to a straight line passing from side to side through the center of a body or figure, especially a circle or sphere.
Settling Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - The Settling Velocity refers to the rate at which a particle suspended in a fluid (like water or air) falls under the influence of gravity until reaches a constant speed.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Constant a: 2.4 --> No Conversion Required
Diameter: 4 Meter --> 4 Meter No Conversion Required
Settling Velocity: 1.5 Meter per Second --> 1.5 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
