Undergrad Fluid Dynamics - Calculating Coefficient of Drag
Although the "Magnus Effect in Saltation" is very helpful in explaining the discrepancy between my theoretical and experimental results, it doesn't answer my main question. How would I go about finding the drag experienced by the projectile using the information I have gathered? (or is it not...- RandomDude123

Undergrad Fluid Dynamics - Calculating Coefficient of Drag
I am aware of that. I guess i wasn't clear in my wording, sorry. What i meant is that my theoretical SUVAT values for the drop that would occur are assuming no air resistance. Compared to my experimental results which are effected by air resistance. So, by comparing the two values, the...- RandomDude123

Undergrad Fluid Dynamics - Calculating Coefficient of Drag
How would one calculate the drag on a projectile (in this case a 1cm3 cube) that was launched at 0°. The vertical drop, initial velocity, distance, and time (taken to travel distance) where measured. I want to say that I could compare these experimental drop (bellow height that projectile was...- RandomDude123
