Determine resultant force due to wind velocity on non-flexible, X sq ft, perpendicular surface?

The geometry of the "foil" changes the form factor. So that you should define it.

The force is F= K(form)*Surface* air(gas) velocity square* air(gas) specific mass/2.

Units have to be from same system thus coherent.
