    Calculate Drag Force for a 14.7mm Sphere in Oil with Given Parameters

    A sphere, 14.7 mm in diameter, drops at a rate of 0.08 m/s in oil µ = 0.1 Ns/m^2 , σ = 0.85 ). Calculate the drag force acting on the sphere. [Answer: 1.85e-3 N] F_d=0.5*rho*C_d*A*u^2, Re=u*p*L/μ I attempted to find the Re, but am struggling on finding the coefficient of drag...
