Hey everyone,
I was researching the magnus force and came upon the equation being:
Fm= S(w x v)
where S is the air resistance coefficient and (w x v) is the cross product of the angular velocity and the velocity of the object.
Well my question is that if the drag coefficient is:
Cd= (2Fd)/[(p)(v^2)(A)]
then couldn't you just sub in Cd for S? I'm assuming they are the same thing...Thanks
