Total Drag for given Excess Power Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Drag Force = Thrust-(Excess Power/Velocity)
F_D = T-(P_excess/v)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Drag Force - (Measured in Newton) - Drag Force is the resisting force experienced by an object moving through a fluid.
Thrust - (Measured in Newton) - Thrust denotes the force exerted by the engine to propel an aircraft forward.
Excess Power - (Measured in Watt) - Excess Power is defined as the difference between the power available and the power required at a particular speed and altitude of aircraft.
Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Velocity is a vector quantity (it has both magnitude and direction) and is the rate of change of the position of an object with respect to time.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Thrust: 700 Newton --> 700 Newton No Conversion Required
Excess Power: 37197.6 Watt --> 37197.6 Watt No Conversion Required
Velocity: 60 Meter per Second --> 60 Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

F_D = T-(P_excess/v) --> 700-(37197.6/60)

Evaluating ... ...

F_D = 80.0400000000001

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

80.0400000000001 Newton --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

80.0400000000001 ≈ 80.04 Newton <-- Drag Force
