Thrust and drag are related to the net force through
Tef f =T − D

The two equations, the one relating induced velocity to thrust and the one
relating net force to thrust and induced velocity are solved iteratively to arrive
at the value of v and T. The value obtained for v and T are 6.34926 m/s and
14.524 N. The coefficient of thrust, CT , is determined as follows
