Consider a helium-filled airship modeled as an ellipsoid of length = 152 m and a circular cross-section with a maximum diameter = 40 m. Consider a airship flying at a velocity of 25 m/s at a standard altitude of 1000 m (look up the corresponding density in Appendix D). The airship is at a small angle of attack such that its lift coefficient is 0.07 (based on the maximum cross- sectional area). If the airship is flying in straight-and-level flight with no acceleration and has a mass of 120,000 kg, how much cargo is it carrying? (Answer to two decimal places) The total cargo that the airship is carrying is metric tonnes.

Density at 1000m is 1.1117 kg/m^3

Consider a helium-filled airship modeled as an ellipsoid of length = 152 m and a circular cross-section with a maximum diameter = 40 m. Consider a airship flying at a velocity of 25 m/s at
a standard altitude of 1000 m (look up the corresponding density in Appendix D). The airship is at a small angle of attack such that its lift coefficient is 0.07 (based on the maximum cross-
sectional area). If the airship is flying in straight-and-level flight with no acceleration and has a mass of 120,000 kg, how much cargo is it carrying? (Answer to two decimal places)
The total cargo that the airship is carrying is
metric tonnes.
