1. Calculate the value of the thrust force in the case of the penguin given u= 1.5 and drag = 0.0044.
If the speed of Penguin is constant, then
Thrust force = Drag force = 0.0044 (unit will be same as in question e.g. Newton)
NOTE: The question does not specify unit of drag and it not very clear whether it is talking about Drag force or Drag co-efficient; Please refer above answer if it is Drag force. If we have drag co-efficient (Cd) and value of u then we can calculate drag force as:
Fd = (1/2) * ρ * u2 * Cd * A
where, ρ = Density of fluid (SI unit = kg /m3)
u = Flow speed (SI unit = m/s)
A = area (SI unit = m2)
Cd = Drag co-efficient (unitless)
