Hi, I have been trying to understand the formula for the drag of an object vs the depth of the object in Water. The variables are Velocity, Mass, Weight. Velocity being in Miles per Hour. Mass taken from the cross section of the weight as it moves through the water and the mass of the line used to drag the weight (diameter x length). Weight being comprised of lead ( the line is made of spectra and does not factor into weight ).
Using
Velocity 3 mph
Line length ( diameter being .009" )
Weight 5 ounces
Mass ( line diameter x distance ( weight diameter .5" )
How do I calculate depth given a water temperature of 60 degrees constant.
Here is the closest I have found on the web, unfortunately they do not allow for line diameter of spectra

This formula has eluded me and I am hoping someone can help.
