{{#expr: ( 2 * 6.67408e-11 * {{{M}}} / ( {{{r}}}^2 * {{{density}}} * 0.2 * 1 ) ) ^ 0.5

Usage Produces
{{VT | M=5.2915793E+22 | r=600000 | density=0.01225}}
Expression error: Unexpected < operator.

This template calculates terminal velocity given a planet's mass (M), the distance of a body from the planet's center (r), and the density of the atmosphere (density). It assumes that the coefficient of drag is 0.2 and that the cross-sectional area is 1 m2.
