A 9-cm-diameter smooth sports ball has a velocity of 36 km/h during a typical hit. Determine the percent increase in the drag coefficient if the ball is given a spin of 3500 rpm in air at 1 atm and 25°C.
A 0.80-m-diameter, 1.2-m-high garbage can is found in the morning tipped over due to high winds during the night. Assuming the average density of the garbage inside to be 150 kg/m3 and taking the air density to be 1.25 kg/m3, estimate the wind velocity during the night when the can was tipped over. Take the drag coefficient of the can to be 0.7.
A 0.12-mm-diameter dust particle whose density is 2.1 g/cm3 is observed to be suspended in the air at 1 atm and 20°C at a fixed point. Estimate the updraft velocity of air motion at that location. Assume Stokes law to be applicable. Is this a valid assumption?

- The airfoil section of the wing of the British Spitfire of World War II fame is an NACA 2213 at the wing root, tapering to an NACA 2205 at the wing tip. The root chord is 8.33 ft. The measured profile drag coefficient of the NACA 2213 airfoil is 0.006 at a Reynolds number of 9 × 106. Consider the Spitfire cruising at an altitude of 19000 ft.

At this velocity and altitude, assuming completely turbulent flow, estimate the skin-friction drag coefficient for the NACA 2213 airfoil, and compare this with the total profile drag coefficient. Calculate the percentage of the profile drag coefficient that is due to pressure drag. (Round the final answer to three decimal places.)

- Bill gets a job delivering pizzas. The pizza company makes him mount a sign on the roof of his car. The frontal area of the sign is A = 0.612 ft2, and he estimates the drag coefficient to be CD = 0.94 at nearly all air speeds. Estimate how much additional money it costs Bill per year in fuel to drive with the sign on his roof compared to without the sign. Use the following additional information: He drives about 10,000 miles per year at an average speed of 45 mph. The overall car efficiency is 0.332, ? fuel = 50.2 lbm/ft3, and the heating value of the fuel is 1.53 × 107 ft . lbf/lbm. The fuel costs $3.50 per gallon. Use standard air properties.
