drag coefficient

A line graph plots drag coefficient versus Reynolds number on logarithmic axes, showing separate curves for spheres, cylinders, and disks, along with a line for Stokes's law. The graph illustrates how drag coefficient varies for each shape as Reynolds number increases, with labels marking the regions for each object type.
