Question

When a body falls in air, the resistance of air depends to a great extent on the shape of the body, 3 different shapes are given Identify the combination of air resistances which truly represents the physical situation. (The cross sectional areas are the same).

  1. 1<2<3
  2. 2<3<1
  3. 3<2<1
  4.  3<1<2

The correct answer is: 3<2<1
