The spoiler, shown in figure 1, will be fitted at the back end of a stock car to give it downforce on the track. The pressure distribution and average shear stress on the top surface are given and the data on the bottom surface can be neglected. The car can reach a maximum speed of 270 km/h on the track. The spoiler has a length and a width of 1.2 m and 0.3 m, respectively. The density of the air is 1.2 kg/m2. Calculate the lift and drag coefficients of the spoiler.

Question
The spoiler, shown in figure 1, will be fitted at the back end of a stock car to give it downforce on the track. The pressure distribution and average shear stress on the top surface are given and the data on the bottom surface can be neglected. The car can reach a maximum speed of 270 km/h on the track. The spoiler has a length and a width
of 1.2 m and 0.3 m, respectively. The density of the air is 1.2 kg/m2. Calculate the lift and drag coefficients of the spoiler.
