Drag Per Unit Span Formula
The following two example problems outline the steps and information needed to calculate the Drag Per Unit Span.
DPUS = Fd/ S
Variables:
- DPUS is the Drag Per Unit Span (N/m)
- Fd is the total drag force (N)
- S is the total span (m)
How to Calculate Drag Per Unit Span?
The following steps outline how to calculate the Drag Per Unit Span.
- First, determine the total drag force (N).
- Next, determine the total span (m).
- Next, gather the formula from above = DPUS = Fd/ S.
- Finally, calculate the Drag Per Unit Span.
- After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
Example Problem :
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
total drag force (N) = 500
total span (m) = 30
DPUS = Fd/ S = ?
