The drag coefficient (C) is determined from terminal velocity, density of the medium, projected area and mass of the object.
What is terminal velocity?
Terminal velocity is the constant speed of a freely falling object when the resistance of the medium through which it is falling prevents further acceleration.
The magnitude of terminal velocity is calculated as;
[tex]V_T = \sqrt{\frac{2mg}{\rho A C} }[/tex]
where;
- m is mass of the object
- g is acceleration due to gravity
- ρ is the density of the medium (coffee)
- C is drag coefficient
- A is projected area
Thus, the drag coefficient (C) is determined from terminal velocity, density of the medium, projected area and mass of the object.
