Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A cyclist has a drag coefficient of 0.9, a frontal area of 0.5 m², and is traveling at 12 m/s. Calculate the drag force they experience if the density of air is 1.225 kg/m³.

💡 Hint: Substitute values into the formula correctly.

Question 2

A wind turbine has a drag coefficient of 0.5 and a total frontal area of 20 m². If the wind speed is 10 m/s, calculate the force acting on it assuming the air density is 1.225 kg/m³.

💡 Hint: Remember to compute for the area and square the velocity.
