Dimensional Analysis on Lift Equation not working out?
Hello,
I am showing that the equation for lift on a wing is
L=1/2 Cl (air density) (Area of Wing) Velocity^2
However, the dimensions aren't working out.
L is kg ; Cl is dimensionless; Air density is kg/m^3; Area is m^2; Velocity is m/s
If you work the dimensions it does not work out. You get L in kg and kg m on the other side.
What am I missing?
Thanks.
