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) - The Drag Force is the resistance experienced by an object moving through a fluid, influenced by the object's shape, speed, and the fluid's properties.
Lift Force - (Measured in Newton) - The Lift Force is the upward force generated by the difference in pressure on the upper and lower surfaces of an object moving through a fluid.
Angle of Attack - (Measured in Radian) - The Angle of Attack is the angle between the chord line of an airfoil and the oncoming airflow, influencing lift and drag in fluid dynamics.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Lift Force: 400.5 Newton --> 400.5 Newton No Conversion Required
Angle of Attack: 10 Degree --> 0.1745329251994 Radian (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

F_D = F_L/cot(α) --> 400.5/cot(0.1745329251994)

Evaluating ... ...

Exact Normal Shock Wave Maximum Coefficient of Pressure

Go Maximum Pressure Coefficient = 2/(Specific Heat Ratio*Mach Number^2)*(Total Pressure/Pressure-1)

Pressure Coefficient for Slender Bodies of Revolution

Go Pressure Coefficient = 2*(Angle of Inclination)^2+Curvature of Surface*Distance of Point from Centroidal Axis

Pressure Coefficient for Slender 2D Bodies

Go Pressure Coefficient = 2*(Angle of Inclination^2+Curvature of Surface*Distance of Point from Centroidal Axis)

Modified Newtonian Law

Go Pressure Coefficient = Maximum Pressure Coefficient*(sin(Angle of Inclination))^2

Drag Force with Angle of Attack Formula

Drag Force = Lift Force/cot(Angle of Attack)
F_D = F_L/cot(α)

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. This is the relative velocity between the body and the fluid.

How to Calculate Drag Force with Angle of Attack?
