The parachute in the chapter-opener photo is, of course,meant to decelerate the payload on Mars. The wind tunneltest gave a drag coefficient of about 1.1, based upon theprojected area of the parachute. Suppose it was falling onearth and, at an altitude of 1000 m, showed a steady descentrate of about 18 mi/h. Estimate the weight of the payload.
An airplane has a mass of 50,000 kg (without load), a wing area of 360 m2 , a maximum lift coefficient of 3.25, and a cruising drag coefficient of 0.03 at an altitude of 12,000 m.

. The net drag of a moving body is produced by both pressure and shear stress effects. In most instance these two effects are considered together and an overall drag coefficient CD, defined as CD = D/(1/2 rU2A)。The drag coefficient depend on what physical effects or dimensionless number
A paramecium is an elongated unicellular organism with approximately 50 μmin diameters and 150 μmin lengths. It swims through water by whip-like movements of cilia, small hairs on the outside of its body. Because it moves "head first" through the water, drag is determined primarily by its diameter and only secondarily by its length, so it's reasonable to model the paramecium as a 70-μm diameter sphere. A paramecium uses 2.0 PW of locomotive power to propel itself through 20∘C water, where 1 pW = 1 picowatt = 10−12W. What is its swimming speed in μm/s? Express your answer in micrometers per second.
