Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A model yacht in a wind tunnel has a drag coefficient of 0.4, frontal area of 0.5 m², and experiences a wind speed of 15 m/s. Calculate the drag force. Consider air density as 1.225 kg/m³.

💡 Hint: Use the drag force formula and substitute the values carefully.

Question 2

For a sphere with a diameter of 0.5 m in a laminar flow at 1 m/s and a density of 900 kg/m³, calculate the Reynolds number given the dynamic viscosity of 0.001 Pa·s.

💡 Hint: Ensure you've made a proper unit conversion to maintain consistency!
