One task in aerodynamic engineering is lowering the coefficient of it.
For spherical objects in the transition region, this interaction has a "crisis" where its multiplier drops dramatically. In the Newtonian (new-TONE-ee-uhn) region, it is equal to one half the area times a constant times density times velocity squared. When the Reynolds number is low, this quantity equals six pi times radius times viscosity times velocity, according to Stokes's law. One task in aerodynamic engineering is lowering the coefficient of it. For 10 points, name this force that opposes motion through a fluid such as air?
