A particular aircraft design calls for a lift of about 1.2 x 10'N on each square metre of the wing when the speed of the aircraft through the air is 100 ms-. Assuming that the air flows past the wing with streamline flow and the flow past the lower surface is equal to the speed of the aircraft, what is the required speed of the air over the upper surface of the wing? (Density of "air 1.3 kg m .) (1, '90]

Prove the sped of an incompressible fluid through a constriction, such as a Venturi tube, increases by a factor equal to the square of the factor by which the diameter decreases. (The converse applies for flow out of a constriction into a larger-diameter region.)
Logs sometimes float vertically a lake because one end has become water-logged and denser than the other. What is the average density of a uniform-diameter log that floats with 20.0% of its length above water?
Using the equation of the previous problem, find the viscosity of motor oil in which a steel ball of radius 0.8 mm falls a terminal speed of 4.32 cm/s. The densities of the ball and the oil are 7.86 and 0.88 g/mL, respectively.

Bird bones have air pockets to reduce their weight—this also gives them an average density significantly less than that of the bones of other animals. Suppose an ornithologist weighs a bird bone air and in water and finds its mass is 45.0 g ad its apparent mass when submerged is 3.60 g (assume the bone is watertight.)(a) What mass of is displaced? (b) What is the volume of the bone? (c) What is its average density?

Scurrilous con artists have been known to represent gold-plated tungsten ingots as pure gold and sell them at prices much below gold value but high above the cost of tungsten. With what accuracy must you be able to measure the mass of such an ingot in and out of water to tell that it is almost pure tungsten rather than pure gold?
