Papa's equation was right; he did have velocity squared (u^2). (See below- I don't know how to do superscript here)Correct me if I'm wrong, but his equation would have been right if the velocity was a square function and there was some constant applied to get the unit values where they need to be.
Right?
If you work in metric, it is straightforward and you end up with kg x m/sec^2 (mass x acceleration,) which = Force (Newtons.) If you work in English units and you use slugs (nobody does) it is also straightforward, but if not, then you have to convert lbm to slugs using the gravitational constant.
