Answer:
The drag coefficient is always associated with a particular surface area. The drag coefficient of any object comprises the effects of the two basic contributors to fluid dynamic drag: skin friction and form drag. The drag coefficient of a lifting airfoil or hydrofoil also includes the effects of lift-induced drag
The drag coefficient Cd is equal to the drag D divided by the quantity: density r times half the velocity V squared times the reference area A. The drag coefficient then expresses the ratio of the drag force to the force produced by the dynamic pressure times the area.
