Consider a rectangular block of wood moving with a velocity $v_{0}$ in a gas at temperature $T$ and mass density $\rho$. Assume the velocity is along the x-axis and the area of cross-section of the block perpendicular to $v_{0}$ is $A$. Show that the drag force on the block is $4\rho A v_{0} \sqrt{\frac{kT}{m}}$,where $m$ is the mass of the gas molecule.
