A swimmer having mass of 55 kg is diving in a swimming pool has an effective body area of 0.76 m2 as shown in Fig. 1. The tension in the direction of swimmer's leg is 1.5 kN when the legs make an inclination of 30∘ with the vertical direction. If the swimmer's hands bend about 40∘ with the flow of water and the magnitude of wave is 2.5 m/s. Determine the lift and drag forces and their coefficients and discuss on the results. Fig: 1

A swimmer having mass of 55 k g is diving in a swimming pool has an effective body area of 0.76 m 2 as shown in Fig.1. The tension in the direction of swimmer's leg is 1.5 k N when the legs make an inclination of 30 with the vertical direction. If the swimmer's hands bend about 40 with the flow of water and the magnitude of wave is 2.5 m / s . Determine the lift and drag forces and their coefficients and discuss on the results. Fig: 1
