The drag coefficient for irregularly shaped objects was measured as a function of Reynolds number. The objects were made into equivalent spheres for calculating the Reynolds number. The table below shows the results of the experiments.

a. Determine a relationship between the Reynolds number, \(R e_{d}\), and the drag coefficient, \(C_{d}\).

b. How does your correlation match up with experiment for \(R e_{d}=10,000\) ?
