A streamlined support strut has thickness t = 1 in. and has CD = 0.02 where the drag force is given by FD = CDtL. L is the length of the strut. Calculate the force per unit length of strut if it is moving at V = 10 mph in water. Compare this result to the force per unit length of a 1 in. diameter circular strut.
