Drag Theory

Drag Theory relates to the resistance an object experiences as it moves through a fluid, such as air or water. This resistance, called drag, depends on factors like the object's shape, size, speed, and the fluid's properties. Engineers aim to minimize drag to increase efficiency, whether in aircraft, cars, or boats. Understanding drag helps improve design by reducing energy loss and making movement smoother. Essentially, it's about understanding and managing the forces that oppose motion through a fluid medium.
