Drag force problem with plots of drag force versus velocity and drag coefficent with drag coefficent of some shapes

% Drag force calculation and plotting

%frontal area (metre square)

a=1;

%density(kg/m3)

rho=1;

%Velocity variation(m/sec)

v=[1:50];

%drag coeffient

Cd=0.6;

%Drag force

Fd=0.5*rho*a*v.^2*Cd;

% Plotting Velocity vs drag force

figure(1)

plot (v,Fd)

xlabel(\'velocity\')

ylabel(\'Drag force\')

%Drag coefficent of some major shapes

%streamline body

c1=0.04

%half sphere

c2=0.43

%sphere

c3=0.47

%cone

c4=0.5

%long cylinder

c5=0.82

%cube

c6=1.05

%draf force calculation of above shape assuming same area

v1=1

CD=[c1 c2 c3 c4 c5 c6];

FD=0.5*rho*a*v1*v1*CD;

%plotting drag force as a function of drag coefficent

figure(2)

plot(CD,FD)

xlabel(\'drag coefficent\')

ylabel(\'drag force\')
