The drag force (Fdrag) exerted by air on a moving car depends on a dimensionless drag
coefficient (Carag), the specific volume of air (Vair), the velocity of the car (Var), and the frontal
area of the car (Afront).
(a) Based on unit considerations alone, obtain an equation for the drag force. Be sure to
explicitly demonstrate that the final units are correct.
(b) Explain, based on your equation, what happens to the drag force when each variable is
changed in isolation. Indicate whether this predicted behaviour matches your intuition
in each case.

cometer, which we can analyze later in Chap. 7. A small
ball of diameter D and density p, falls through a tube of test
liquid (p. µ). The fall velocity V is calculated by the time to
fall a measured distance. The formula for calculating the
viscosity of the fluid is

This result is limited by the requirement that the Reynolds
number (pVD/u) be less than 1.0. Suppose a steel ball (SG =
7.87) of diameter 2.2 mm falls in SAE 25W oil (SG = 0.88)
at 20°C. The measured fall velocity is 8.4 cm/s. (a) What is
the viscosity of the oil, in kg/m-s? (b) Is the Reynolds num-
ber small enough for a valid estimate?
Question 3
The aerodynamic derivative X, may be determined from the following expression:
X
-pU SCD
%3D
where p is the air density, S is the wing area, U is the airspeed, and Cp is the drag coefficient.
Consider an aircraft of weight 68 kN and wing area 43 m?, flying straight and level under international
standard atmosphere (ISA) conditions, where p 1.018 kg/m, at an airspeed of 155 m/s. The aircraft
%3D
has a drag polar
Cp = 0.011 +
where Ci is the lift coefficient.
Calculate the value of X, at this flight condition. Give your answer in units of Ns/m.
