The precise relationship is expressed using the<br />
proportionality constant C L , which is known as<br />
the lift coefficient, and takes the following form:<br />
L = ½ ρv 2 C L A (4)<br />
It can also be shown by integrating the lift force<br />
over the area of a cross-shaped boomerang that<br />
the net lift force and aerodynamic couple are<br />
given by<br />
and<br />
F = ¼ ρ(V 2 + (aω 2 )) C L A S (5)<br />
C = ¼ ρV 2 aωC L A S (6)<br />
