Chapter 17, Problem 17.23PP

Assume that curve 2 in Fig. 17.5 is a true representation of the performance of a golf ball with a diameter of 1.25   i n . If the Reynolds number is 1.5   x   10 5 , compute the drag force on the golf ball and compare it to the drag force on a smooth sphere of the same diameter whose drag coefficient conforms to curve 1 . The air is at 40 ° F .

q: An aircraft is flying straight and level at a certain altitude with a velocity of 214 fps. Determine the power required if the wing area is 115 ft? and the total drag coefficient is 0.067. Assume SSLC (p=0.002377 slug/ft3). Provide answer in ft-Ib/s. and round off to the nearest whole number. Solve using standard English units.
A 1:20 scale down model of a hydrofoil is tested in a water channel, at velocity of 0.179 m/s. At this velocity, a drag force of 2.2 N is measured. Determine the drag force of the original hydrofoil, at velocity of 0.8 m/s.
