The New Interpretation of the Laws of Air Resistance (open access)

The New Interpretation of the Laws of Air Resistance

A closer examination of Newton's formula for air resistance shows that it is well to consider the air as an ordinary fluid, and, indeed for most of the velocities considered, as a non-compressible fluid, so long as the dimensions of the moving body are large in comparison with the mean free path of the particles of air.
