Velocity of Sphere given Coefficient of Drag Formula Elements

Variables
Mean Velocity
Mean velocity is defined as the average velocity of a fluid at a point and over an arbitrary time T.
Symbol: Vmean
Measurement: SpeedUnit: m/s
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Dynamic Viscosity
The Dynamic Viscosity refers to the internal resistance of a fluid to flow when a force is applied.
Symbol: μ
Measurement: Dynamic ViscosityUnit: P
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Density of Fluid
Density of Fluid is the denseness of that material in a specific given area. This is taken as mass per unit volume of a given object.
Symbol: ρ
Measurement: DensityUnit: kg/m³
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Coefficient of Drag
The Coefficient of Drag 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.
Symbol: CD
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Diameter of Sphere
The Diameter of Sphere refers to the longest line that is inside the sphere and that passes through the center of the sphere.
Symbol: DS
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
