You want to design a pneumatic elevator that functions by pressurizing the area beneath the floor of the elevator. Assuming that the elevator is cylindrical in shape with a floor radius of 3 ft, how much pressure differential (the difference between p₁ and Patm in psi) would be needed to lift 8 people with an average weight of 160 lbs each?

Consider a Boeing 747 airliner cruising at a velocity of 550 mi/h at a standard altitude of 38,000 ft, where the freestream pressure and temperature are 432.6 lb/ft2 and 390◦R, respectively. A one-fiftieth scale model of the 747 is tested in a wind tunnel where the temperature is 430◦R. Calculate the required velocity and pressure of the test airstream in the wind tunnel such that the lift and drag coefficients measured for the wind-tunnel model are the same as for free flight. Assume that both μ and a are proportional to T 1/2.
