Hi Tom,
collecting the last therms you have
Solve[{
m1 a1 - P1/v1 == -A1 Rho Cd (v1 + w)^2/2 - m1 g( Cr1 + S),
m2 a2 - P2/v2 == -A2 Rho Cd (v2 + w)^2/2 - m2 g (Cr1 + S),
m3 a3 - P3/v3 == -A3 Rho Cd (v3 + w)^2/2 - m3 g (Cr1 + S)
}, {Cr1, S, w}]
from which it is apparent that (Crl+S) are a sigle variable,
so the system is overdetermined.
Calling Crl+S=CrlS and eliminating an equation (for instance the third)
your system becomes
Solve[{
m1 a1 - P1/v1 == -A1 Rho Cd (v1 + w)^2/2 - m1 g( Cr1S),
m2 a2 - P2/v2 == -A2 Rho Cd (v2 + w)^2/2 - m2 g (Cr1S)
}, {Cr1S, w}] // Simplify
Mathematica can solve this easily.
