A flagpole 16 m high has the shape of a
cylinder 100 mm in diameter. The air temperature is 30°C
and the atmospheric pressure is 101 KPaa. With what
speed is the air blowing against the pole if the moment
developed at the base is 2.7 KN.m? The drag coefficient is
1.3.
The car shown in the figure below moves
at a constant speed on a highway and has
a drag coefficient Cpc of 0.32 with the
windows and roof closed. What is the
percent increase of horsepower needed to
maintain the speed if the windows and
roof are then opened? With the windows
and roof open, the drag coefficient
increases to Cpo = 0.43. Assume the
frontal area remains the same.
