How is Cd derived using a wind tunnel ? What type of sensors are used ?

Wind tunnel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I read over the Wikipedia article, but i didn't see anything specific.

I'm assuming it has to do with something called a 'force balance', since it says this can be used to find the Cd.
