I think the answer is to just use the drag force equation which is Fd = 1/2 * p * v^2 * Cd * A p = density of fluid v = velocity Cd = coefficient of drag (for plate in laminar flow = 0.001) A = cross sectional area This is easily done. However, now I am thinking that if the mass is...

Hi All. This is my first post, so please forgive me if I am not following protocol somewhere. The question: A mass flows through a let's say a pipe with a rectangular cross section at a constant velocity. I am just trying to figure out all the forces acting on this mass. Of course the...
