Answer A is correct. The drag equation is a practical formula used to calculate the force of drag experienced by an object due to a fluid that it is moving through. The equation is attributed to Lord Rayleigh, who originally used in place of (L being some linear dimension). The force on a moving object due to a fluid is:
where
Fd is the force of drag, is the density of the fluid (Note that for the Earth's atmosphere, the density can be found using the barometric formula. Air is 1.293 kg/m3 at 0C and 1 atmosphere), v is the velocity of the object relative to the fluid, A is the reference area, and Cd is the drag coefficient (a dimensionless constant, e.g. 0.25 to 0.45 for a car).
The reference area A is the area of the projection of the object on a plane perpendicular to the direction of motion (ie cross-sectional area). Sometimes different reference areas are given for the same object in which case a drag coefficient corresponding to each of these different areas must be given. The reference for a wing would be the plane area rather than the frontal area. (The above description is more formal than the one in tje JAA question. When converting to the JAA question's notation, FD = D, CD = CD and S = A. Also, V2 is written here as V2. ) References
