2. Drag
Session 1: Demonstrating that drag is influenced by the shape of the object
Objective: students have to experience drag using different shapes and to deduce which one is producing the smallest amount of drag.
Session 2: Demonstrating that drag is influenced by the viscosity of the fluid
Objective: experiment the viscosity of a fluid
Session 3: Demonstrating that drag is influenced by the smoothness or roughness of the surface
Objective: To demonstrate that drag is influence by the type of surface
Session 4: Measuring the drag of different forms, different degrees of roughness and at different wind speed
Objectives: In this experiment the students will measure the drag using a dynamometer.
