Form drag

Input(s)

R: Radius (ft)

ρ\rho: Density (ppg)

g: Acceleration due to Gravity (ft/s2)\left(\mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\right)

μ\mu: Viscosity (cP)(\mathrm{cP})

v\mathrm{v}: Velocity (ft/s)(\mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{s})

Output(s)

F: Normal Force (N)(\mathrm{N})

Formula(s)

F=(43)π(R3)ρ g+2πμRv\mathrm{F}=\left(\frac{4}{3}\right) * \pi *\left(\mathrm{R}^{3}\right) * \rho * \mathrm{~g}+2 * \pi * \mu * \mathrm{R} * \mathrm{v}
