As shown in Video V9.2 a kayak is a relatively streamlined object. As a first approximation in calculating the drag on a kayak, assume that the kayak acts as if it were a smooth, flat plate 17.0 ft long and 1.8 ft wide. Determine the drag as a function of speed. Round the values to 3 significant digits. Speed, ft/s Drag, lb
A kayak is a relatively streamlined object. As a first approximation calculate the drag force under the assumption that it acts as a 4-m long flat plate and 0.55-m wide. Determine: a) The drag force when the speed is 5 m / s, b) The power required to maintain speed. c) The drag coefficient. Note: For this problem you can only use the experimental information reported to below, and assuming that the water density is 997 kg / m3 v...
