Freestream Density over Flat under Freestream Flow Conditions Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Freestream Density = Drag Force/(0.5*Drag Coefficient*Freestream Velocity^2*Reference Area)
ρ_∞ = F_D/(0.5*C_D*V_∞^2*S)
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Freestream Density - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Freestream density is the mass per unit volume of air far upstream of an aerodynamic body at a given altitude.
Drag Force - (Measured in Newton) - Drag Force is the resisting force experienced by an object moving through a fluid.
Drag Coefficient - 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.
Freestream Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - The Freestream Velocity is the velocity of air far upstream of an aerodynamic body, that is before the body has a chance to deflect, slow down or compress the air.
Reference Area - (Measured in Square Meter) - The Reference Area is arbitrarily an area that is characteristic of the object being considered. For an aircraft wing, the wing's planform area is called the reference wing area or simply wing area.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Drag Force: 82 Newton --> 82 Newton No Conversion Required
Drag Coefficient: 2.2 --> No Conversion Required
Freestream Velocity: 100 Meter per Second --> 100 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Reference Area: 5.08 Square Meter --> 5.08 Square Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

ρ_∞ = F_D/(0.5*C_D*V_∞^2*S) --> 82/(0.5*2.2*100^2*5.08)

Evaluating ... ...

ρ_∞ = 0.00146743020758769

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.00146743020758769 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.00146743020758769 ≈ 0.001467 Kilogram per Cubic Meter <-- Freestream Density
