.EXAMPLE
```powershell
Get-DragForceByVelocityDensityAreaAndCoefficient -VelocityInMetersPerSecond 10 -DensityInKilogramsPerCubicMeter 1.225 -AreaInSquareMeters 1 -Coefficient 0.5 -As ""poundforce""
```

Calculates drag force using velocity 10 m/s, air density 1.225 kg/m³, area 1 m², and coefficient 0.5, outputting in poundforce.
.EXAMPLE
```powershell
Get-DragForceByVelocityDensityAreaAndCoefficient 20 1.225 2 0.3
```

Calculates drag force using positional parameters: velocity 20 m/s, density 1.225 kg/m³, area 2 m², coefficient 0.3.
