In a wind tunnel experiment the pressure on the upper and lower surfaces of the wings are 0.90× 105 Pa and 0.91 × 105 Pa respectively. If the area of the wings is 40m2 the net lifting force on the wing is
2 × 104 N
4 × 104 N
6 × 104 N
8 × 104 N
Pressure difference which provides the lift
= Pressure difference × Area of the wing
= (P2-P1)×A
= (0.91×105-0.90 ×105)Pa ×40 m2
= 0.01 × 105 Pa × 40 m2
= 4 × 104 N
