A mock-up car design has a frontal area of 3.0 m², with a drag coefficient of 0.5. If the testing velocity is 25 m/s, calculate the drag force using the appropriate formulas.
💡 Hint: Substitute values into the drag force equation.
If a prototype car operates at a Reynolds number of 1.45 x 10^6, what flow type does it indicate? Discuss what it implies for the design.
💡 Hint: Remember what Reynolds number thresholds signify for design.
