Question

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 

Moderate
Solution

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
