Drag force acting on a body does not depend upon the____________________?

Correct answer: B. Density of the body

  • A. Density of the fluid
  • B. Density of the body
  • C. Velocity of the body
  • D. Projected area of the body

Explanation

Drag depends on fluid density, relative velocity, projected area and drag coefficient, but not directly on the body's density. Body density affects whether the body accelerates, not the instantaneous drag force for a given motion.
