Question

Problem 65P

(a) Find the pressure difference on an airplane wing if air flows over the upper surface with a speed of 115 m/s, and along the bottom surface with a speed of 105 m/s. (b) If the area of the wing is 32 m2, what is the net upward force exerted on the wing?

Solution

Step 1 of 3

We have given

The air velocity over the wing

The air velocity under the wing  

The difference in wind speeds produces a pressure difference and a resulting upward force.
