. When a body falls in air, the resistance of air depends to a great extent on the shape of the body
Three different shapes are given. Identify the combination of air resistances which truly represents the physical situation?
(The cross-sectional areas are the same).
Best Answer
Ans: c
Solution: Figure 3 is streamlined, so air resistance of it will be minimum. For figure 1 surface area is maximum. So air resistance for it is maximum.
Hence, correct sequence is 3 < 2 , 1.
