Textbook Question
Chapter 9, Problem 29P
Air at atmospheric pressure and 20°C flows over both sides of a flat plate that is 0.8 m long and 0.3 m wide at a velocity of 5 m/s. Determine the total drag force on the plate. If the single plate is replaced by two plates each 0.4 m long and 0.3 m wide, what is the total drag force? Explain why there is a difference in the total drag even though the total surface area is the same.

A 0.80-m-diameter, 1.2-m-high garbage can is found in the morning tipped over due to high winds during the night. Assuming the average density of the garbage inside to be 150 kg/m3 and taking the air density to be 1.25 kg/m3, estimate the wind velocity during the night when the can was tipped over. Take the drag coefficient of the can to be 0.7.
5. The local atmospheric pressure in Denver, Colorado (elevation 1610 m) is 83.4 kPa. Air at this pressure
and at 25°C flows with a velocity of 9 m/s over a 2.5-m x 5-m flat plate. Determine the drag force acting
on the top surface of the plate if the air flows parallel to the (a) 5-m-long side and (b) the 2.5-m-long
side.
