1. AIM:-Program to calculate drag force against a Cyclist.

2. GOVERNING EQUATION:-

  •             <math>Fd=rho∗v2∗a∗cd/2F_d=rho*v^2*a*c_d/</math>2Fd​=rho∗v2∗a∗cd​/2
  •         Where         <math>FdF_d</math>Fd​ =Drag force
  •                               units:-<math>NN</math>N
  •                               rho=density of medium through which cyclist is travelling(air)
  •                             units:-<math>kg/m3kg/m^3</math> kg/m3   
  •                             a=frontal area      
  •                              units:-  <math>m2m^2</math>m 2
  •                             v=velocity with which cyclist moves
  •                             units:- <math>m/sm/s</math>m /s        
  •                             <math>cdc_d</math>cd​    
    =drag coefficient
                                       
  •                             units:-no units                                                                                                                                                                         PRINCIPLE:- When the cyclist began to ride his velocity began to increase and the air/fluid around him began to                                      increase proportionally.When the air which is flowing through the projected area of both cycle and                                     cyclist is having some kinetic energy before it has come into contact with the cycle and the                                     person.As soon as the air comes into contact with both the person and the cycle the air suddenly                                     losses kinetic energy and converts  into pressure energy.As pressure increases according to the                                     geometry pressure varies .If the geometry is irregular the boundary layer separation takes place                                     and creates a back pressure because of which turbulence is created.So to reduce this body must                                     be streamlined or high energy particles are to be added to delay the boundary layer separation

3. OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT:-

  1.  To calculate the drag force.
  2.  To  plot Velocity vs Drag force.
  3.   To  plot Drag Co-efficient vs Drag force.

4. CODE :-

                CODE FOR  VARIATION OF VELOCITY AND DRAG FORCE

       

    OUTPUT:-

5. EXPLANATION OF THE CODE:

  1. First initialize the values of  rho,frontal area,c_d,varying velocity.
  2. Substitute those values in the force drag equation to calculate drag force.
  3. Then plot  a graph between velocity and drag force.
  4. For second case  initialize the values of  rho,frontal area, varying c_d, velocity.
  5. Substitute those values in the force drag equation to calculate drag force.
  6. Then plot  a graph between c_D and drag force.

6.CONCLUSION:-

  1. Calculated drag force with varying velocity and c_d.
  2. Plotted the graphs between velocity vs drag force and c_d vs drag force.
