Total Drag force on Sphere Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Total Drag force on Sphere?

FIRST Step Consider the formula
FD=3⋅π⋅μd⋅D⋅v
Next Step Substitute values of Variables
∴ FD=3⋅π⋅0.075P⋅0.08m⋅32m/s
Next Step Substitute values of Constants
∴ FD=3⋅3.1416⋅0.075P⋅0.08m⋅32m/s
Next Step Convert Units
∴ FD=3⋅3.1416⋅0.0075Pa*s⋅0.08m⋅32m/s
Next Step Prepare to Evaluate
∴ FD=3⋅3.1416⋅0.0075⋅0.08⋅32
Next Step Evaluate
∴FD=0.180955736846772N
LAST Step Rounding Answer
∴FD=0.181N
