i have calculated volume and weight from different size hailstones.
i now have to calculate the wind speed needed to keep a hailstone of each size aloft.
i am stuck on which equation to use...
should i solve using
D = 1/2(C*rho*A*v^2) ?
for rho do i plug in the density of air or of each hailstone?
i can only get as far as plugging in values for
(drag coefficient) C=.5 and A for each respective hailstone.
thanks!
