Drag Force with Angle of Attack Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Drag Force = Lift Force/cot(Angle of Attack)
F_D = F_L/cot(α)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 3 Variables

Functions Used

cot - Cotangent is a trigonometric function that is defined as the ratio of the adjacent side to the opposite side in a right triangle., cot(Angle)

Variables Used

Drag Force - (Measured in Newton) - Drag Force is the resisting force experienced by an object moving through a fluid.
Lift Force - (Measured in Newton) - The Lift Force, lifting force or simply lift is the sum of all the forces on a body that force it to move perpendicular to the direction of flow.
Angle of Attack - (Measured in Radian) - Angle of attack is the angle between a reference line on a body and the vector representing the relative motion between the body and the fluid through which it is moving.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Lift Force: 400.5 Newton --> 400.5 Newton No Conversion Required
Angle of Attack: 10.94 Degree --> 0.190939020168144 Radian (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

F_D = F_L/cot(α) --> 400.5/cot(0.190939020168144)

Evaluating ... ...

F_D = 77.4141530256242

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

77.4141530256242 Newton --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

77.4141530256242 ≈ 77.41415 Newton <-- Drag Force
