When thinking about human swimmers, which model of fluid drag most appropriate?
estimate the reynolds number for a human swimming in water. approximate the human as a sphere of radius 0.5m, swimming at a speed of about 11m/s. the density of water is approximately 1000kg/m³ and its viscosity is 0.001n/m².s.
a. re = 50, f_d \sim -v^2
b. re = 5 x 10⁵, f_d \sim -v
c. re = 2 x 10⁴, f_d \sim -v^2
d. re = 0.5, f_d \sim -v
e. re = 5 x 10⁵, f_d \sim -v^2
