For the laminar flow of water over a sphere, the drag coefficient
CF is defined as
CF=F/(ρU2D2), where F is the drag force,
ρ is the fluid density, U is the fluid velocity and D is the diameter of the sphere. The density of water is 1000 kg/
m3. When the diameter of the sphere is 100 mm and the fluid velocity is 2 m/s, the drag coefficient is 0.5. If water now flows over another sphere of diameter 200 mm under dynamically similar conditions, the drag force (in N) on this sphere is_______
