Volume of Flowing Fluid - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Volume of Flowing Fluid is the velocity of the water that is flowing around the body.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Coefficient of Drag for Body in Fluid: 0.15 --> No Conversion Required
Projected Area of Body: 1.88 Square Meter --> 1.88 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Mass of Flowing Fluid: 3.4 Kilogram --> 3.4 Kilogram No Conversion Required
Velocity of Body or Fluid: 32 Meter per Second --> 32 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Volume of Flowing Fluid: 2.8 Cubic Meter --> 2.8 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

F_D' = (C_D'*A_p*M_w*(v)^2)/(V_w*2) --> (0.15*1.88*3.4*(32)^2)/(2.8*2)

Evaluating ... ...

F_D' = 175.323428571429

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

175.323428571429 Newton --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

175.323428571429 ≈ 175.3234 Newton <-- Drag Force on Body in Fluid

What is drag force?

A drag force is the resistance force caused by the motion of a body through a fluid, such as water or air. A drag force acts opposite to the direction of the oncoming flow velocity.

What is drag coefficient?

In fluid dynamics, the 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. It is used in the drag equation in which a lower drag coefficient indicates the object will have a less aerodynamic or hydrodynamic drag.
