The drag force per unit length, F, acting on a cylinder of diameter D moving at velocity ? perpendicularly to its axis through a fluid of density ? and viscosity ? depends only on D, ?, ?, and ?. Use the data in Table 2 to estimate the force per unit length acting on a cylinder of diameter 0.1 m moving at 61 ms^-1? through air.
