Sphere: Cross section is a circle. Drag coefficient at high Reynolds numbers depends on the shape of an object. Consider the shapes of the objects listed in the table, and now consider thee objects traveling in air, a sphere, a cylinder traveling lengthwise and a cylinder traveling sideways. Rank the coefficients of drags for the three objects from smallest to greatest. (Assumel>r) Object A = r2 CD Commercial airliner 0.024 Cylinder traveling lengthwise Cross section is a circle. Toyota Prius 0.24 Pitched baseball 0.35 A = r2 Racing cyclist 0.88 Running person 1.2 Cylinder traveling sideway Cross section is a rectangle. DIV A = 2rl
