F = (C_D'*A_p*ρ*(v^2)/2)+(C_L*A_p*ρ*(v^2)/2)
This formula uses 6 Variables

Variables Used

Force - (Measured in Newton) - Force on fluid element is the sum of pressure and shear forces acting on it within a fluid system.
Coefficient of Drag for Body in Fluid - Coefficient of Drag for Body in Fluid quantifies the drag or resistance of an object in a fluid environment.
Projected Area of Body - (Measured in Square Meter) - Projected Area of Body is the two-dimensional area of a three-dimensional object by projecting its shape onto an arbitrary plane parallel to fluid flow.
Density of Fluid Circulating - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Density of Fluid Circulating is the density of the fluid that is circulating or say flowing around a body.
Velocity of Body or Fluid - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Velocity of Body or Fluid is the speed at which the body is moving in the fluid or with which the fluid is flowing around the body.
Lift Coefficient for Body in Fluid - Lift Coefficient for Body in Fluid is a dimensionless coefficient that relates the lift generated by a fluid, fluid density around the body, the fluid velocity, and an associated reference area.

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
Density of Fluid Circulating: 1.21 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> 1.21 Kilogram per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Velocity of Body or Fluid: 32 Meter per Second --> 32 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Lift Coefficient for Body in Fluid: 0.94 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

F = (C_D'*A_p*ρ*(v^2)/2)+(C_L*A_p*ρ*(v^2)/2) --> (0.15*1.88*1.21*(32^2)/2)+(0.94*1.88*1.21*(32^2)/2)

Evaluating ... ...

F = 1269.520384

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1269.520384 Newton --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1269.520384 ≈ 1269.52 Newton <-- Force

What is force exerted by a fluid?

The force exerted by the liquid is always normal to the surface in contact with the liquid. The total normal force exerted by a liquid at rest on a surface in contact with it is called fluid thrust.

What is Reynolds number?

It is a dimensionless number used in fluid mechanics to indicate whether fluid flow past a body or in a duct is steady or turbulent.
