you can see how i intended on using it in my post? rightly or wrongly, probably. as that one gives me non-physical answer? my other drag equation seems to be more suitable, but I'm not sure I'm going about it the right way. so trying whatever i can get my hands on really. i'd appreciate a more...
I posted this problem in another section, but it seems to have fizzled out and I’m trying to solve it, so resurrected it here hopefully to get somewhere.
I’m trying to calculate the impact force of a free falling cylinder of metal under water accounting for the drag. The cylinder is...
thanks for the stokes pointer. stokes refers to a sphere, my body is a cylinder, but not concerned with that for now?
got this info and related it to my problem; free body diagram shows that the body has acting on it a buoyancy force Fb, which is the displayced fluid weight combined with...
i'm trying to calculate the impact force of a slide hammer under water. i can calculate it in air using (mv^2/2d), from work energy principle info i got off the net. and i have formulas for calculating drag; (0.5CpAv^2), also off the net, which i believe i have to account for? but no idea how to...
