Anyone happen to know the terminal velocity of a spiral ham?

Plugging in this formula, with
m = 4.98952 kg (or 11lbs) (mass of an average spiral sliced ham) https://www.smithfieldmarketplace.com/product/whole-ham-spiral-sliced/party-foods
g = 9.8 m/s^2 (force of gravity (assuming the face of the ham is pointing downwards))
C = .82 (constant for something shaped like a cylinder) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag_coefficient
p = 1.225 kg/m^3 (density of air at sea level at 15 degrees Celsius) https://www.thoughtco.com/density-of-air-at-stp-607546
A = .03141592 m^2 (area of the large round side of the ham, assuming that is the side the air is hitting against the ham) (I couldn't find a source of this one so i just guesstimated with a spiral ham leftovers i had to get about a 20 cm diameter (10 cm radius) and plugged that into pi r^2 (this is also assuming the face of the ham is a perfect circle))

I end up with an answer of 55.6682 m/s

If any improvements could be made to this please inform me

honestly, when i was doing the calculations, it seemed like if anything it should be lower

I honestly thought it looked something like a streamlined body but that had a much much lower coefficient than a long cylinder, so i decided to low ball rather than high ball

why do u think it should be higher?
