Determining VTERM
At equilibrium, the net force is zero (F =
0);
Solving for v yields
At equilibrium, the net
force is zero (F = 0);
V t = terminal velocity,
m = mass of the falling object,
g = acceleration due to
gravity,
C d = drag coefficient,
ρ = density of the fluid through
which the object is falling, and
A = projected area of the
object.
Solving for v yields
