Textbook Question
Chapter 5, Problem 5.10P
If the elliptical wing of the Spitfire in Problem 5.9 were replaced by a tapered wing with a taper ratio of 0.4, everything else remaining the same, calculate the induced drag coefficient. Compare this value with that obtained in Problem 5.9. What can you conclude about the relative effect of planform shape change on the drag of the airplane at high speeds?

- Problem4. The thin uniform disk of mass m = 1-kg and radius R = 0.1m spins about the bent shaft OG with the angular speed w2 = 20 rad/s. At the same time, the shaft rotates about the z-axis with the angular speed 001 = 10 rad/s. The angle between the bent portion of the shaft and the z-axis is ẞ = 35°. The mass of the shaft is negligible compared to the mass of the disk. a. Find the angular momentum of the disk with respect to point G, based on the axis orientation as shown. Include an MVD in your solution. b. Find the angular momentum of the disk with respect to point O, based on the axis orientation as shown. (Note: O is NOT the center of fixed-point rotation.) c.
