`F_"air" = c*rho*A*v^2`

Enter a value for all fields

The Force of Air Friction calculator computes the force of air friction based on a friction coefficient, density of air, cross-section area and the velocity.

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:

• (c) Drag Coefficient
• (ρ) Density of Air (default: [CONSTANT NOT FOUND])
• (A) Cross-section Area
• (v) Velocity

Force of Air Friction (F_air): The calculator returns the force in Newtons.  However, this can be automatically converted to compatible units via the pull-down menu.
