Fd = 1/2pb2ACd

Fd = force of drag
p = pressure of fluid
v = velocity relative to fluid
A =  reference area
Cd =Drag coefficient

What is the reference area?

you are going to have some difficulty seeing as how velocity isnt actually in the above formula  ;)

yes, i can see that the B is supposed to be velocity
