DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A SYSTEM FOR MEASURING AN AERODYNAMIC DRAG COEFFICIENT

The research aims to design and construct a device to measure the drag coefficient for the free falling and accelerating bodies in different fluid mediums. Four main factors are know to have an effect on free falling bodies. These factors are: shape, size density of the body and density of the medium through which the body travels. In this study, spherical and cylindrical shape bodies were investigated.
