The so-called Rocket Man, Yves Rossy, fl ew across the Alps in2008, wearing a rocket-propelled wing-suit with the followingdata: thrust = 200 lbf, altitude = 8,200 ft, and wingspan = 8 ft(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yves_Rossy). Further assume awing area of 12 ft2, total weight of 280 lbf, CDq = 0.08 for thewing, and a drag area of 1.7 ft2 for Rocket Man. Estimate themaximum velocity possible for this condition, in mi/h.
The centerboard on a sailboat is 3 ft long parallel to theflow and protrudes 7 ft down below the hull into seawaterat 20°C. Using flat-plate theory for a smooth surface,estimate its drag if the boat moves at 10 knots.Assume Rex,tr = 5 E5.
A ship is 150 m long and has a wetted area of 5000 m2.If it is encrusted with barnacles, the ship requires 7000 hpto overcome friction drag when moving in seawater at 15 kn and 20°C. What is the average roughness of thebarnacles? How fast would the ship move with the samepower if the surface were smooth? Neglect wave drag.
Icebergs can be driven at substantial speeds by the wind.Let the iceberg be idealized as a large, flat cylinder, D >> L,with one-eighth of its bulk exposed, as in Fig.. Letthe seawater be at rest. If the upper and lower drag forcesdepend on relative velocities between the iceberg and thefluid, derive an approximate expression for the steady icebergspeed V when driven by wind velocity U.
