Chapter 20, Problem 19A

In addition to Bernoulli’s principle, what other physics explains the lift produced by an airplane wing?

To determine

To Explain: The other physics principle to lift produced by a airplane wing with Bernoulli's principle.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

According to Bernoulli's principle airplanes shape and orientation has effect on lift.The air passes faster over the top surface than the lower surface.

In addition to Bernoulli's principle, Newton's third law helps to lift. Newton's third law states that action and reaction are equal and opposite. Air molecules pushes the wings and the wing pushes the molecules. Due to which an airplane wing gets lift.

Conclusion:

Along with Bernoulli's principle, Newton's third law motion produces lift in airplane.
