- The resultant of the pressure and wall shear forces acting on a body is measured to be 430 N, making 30° with the direction of flow. Determine the drag and the lift forces acting on the body.arrow_forwardA rectangular wing on an aircraft has a chord length of 1.6 m and span of 11 m flying in sky at the speed of 195 km/ h. A total aerodynamic force of 21kN is experienced by the wing at that speed. Determine the lift coefficient of the wing, if the lift to drag ratio is 5. Also, determine the lift coefficient, if the ratio is considered to be 3 . Take the density of the air to be 1.23 kg/ m3 .arrow_forwardA commercial airplane has a total mass of 150,000 lbm and a wing planform area of 1700 ft2. The plane has a cruising speed of 625 mi/h and a cruising altitude of 38,000 ft where the air density is 0.0208 lbm/ft3. The plane has double-slotted flaps for use during takeoff and landing, but it cruises with all flaps retracted. Assuming the lift and drag characteristics of the wings can be approximated by NACA 23012, determine (a) the minimum safe speed for takeoff and landing with and without extending the flaps, (b) the angle of attack to cruise steadily at the cruising altitude, and (c) the power that needs to be supplied to provide enough thrust to overcome drag. Take the air density on the ground to be 0.075 lbm/ft3.arrow_forward

- A 2-m-long, 0.2-m-diameter cylindrical pine log (density = 513 kg/m3) is suspended by a crane in the horizontal position. The log is subjected to normal winds of 40 km/h at 5°C and 88 kPa.

The truck has a mass of 12,750 kg and a frontal area of 10.5 m2. If the truck is traveling at constant speed on a level road, the forces retarding its forward progress are the drag and the rolling friction. The force due to rolling friction can be written asFrf = W*fr(1 + V/V0)where V is the truck speed in m/s, V0 = 30 m/s and fr (the coe¢ cient of rolling resistance) is approximately 0.008 for a truck on concrete or asphalt. Plot the total power the engine must supply as a function of truck speed, V . Comment on the relative importance of drag and rolling friction in the fuel consumption of the truck.arrow_forward
- 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.
