Chapter 5, Problem 5.22P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The ratio of takeoff speeds in New Orleans to Mexico City should be estimated.

Concept introduction:

The Ideal Gas Law is defined as,

$PV=nRT$

Where, the volume (V) occupied by ‘n’ moles of any gas has a pressure (P) at temperature (T) in Kelvin and ‘R’ = Gas constant

Also, the upward lift (L) can be calculated using the following equation:

$L=C\rho u^{2}A$

Where C is coefficient of wing characteristics, ? is density of air, u is velocity of air across the wing and A is wing area
