Function
k=1/2(P)(Cd)(A). k is the air drag constant (kg/m) Cd = 0.75, the drag coefficient for an average rocket (has no units) = air density = 1.223 kg/m3 A is the cross-sectional area of the rocket (m2 ). Use the diameter of the rocket in the rocket table to calculate the area.
A = pi d2 / 4 = (pi) (0.019 m)2 / 4 = 0.000283529 m2 k = (0.5) (1.223 kg/m3) (0.75) (0.000283529 m2) = 0.000130033 kg/m
