A 1:20 scaled-down model of a hydrofoil is tested in a water channel, at a velocity of 0.179 m/s. At this velocity, a drag force of 2.2 N is measured. Determine the drag force of the original hydrofoil, at a velocity of 0.8 m/s.
The drag equation for the Gofaster 172 is: D = 0.0003v2A. D is drag in pounds; v is airspeed in feet/second; and A is aircraft frontal area in square feet.
At maximum airspeed, D = 140 lbs. How much does max airspeed INCREASE if the fuselage is narrowed such that frontal area A is reduced from 16 ft2 to 14 ft2? Give the answer in ft/sec AND mph.
drag is 140 lbs. at maximum airspeed, regardless of frontal area.
the question is: what is the INCREASE in max airspeed, not what is the max airspeed.
An automobile has a characteristic length and area of 8 ft and 60 ft2, respectively. When tested in sea-level standard air, it has measured velocities of 20, 40, and 60 mi/h and drag forces of 31, 115, and 249 lbf, respectively. The same car travels in Colorado at 115 mi/h at an altitude of 3500 m.
Using dimensional analysis, estimate its drag force (in lbf).
Using dimensional analysis, estimate the horsepower required to overcome air drag (in hp)

- 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?

The chord and span ofthe wing are 6 mm and 30 mm, respectively and a typical flight speed is5 m/s in air (kinematic viscosity = 15 × 10−6 m2/s; density = 1.2kg/m3). An engineer may decide to make a superseding model withchord and span of 150 mm and 750 mm, respectively. Measurements onthe model in a water channel flowing at 0.5 m/s (kinematic viscosity = 1× 10−6 m2/s, density = 1000 kg/m3) give a drag of 0.19 N and aboundary-layer thickness of 3 mm.

- Q.10. To predict the drag on an aircraft at a flight speed of 150 m/s, where the condition of air is such that the local speed of sound is 310 m/s, a pressurized low temperature tunnel is used. Density, viscosity and local sonic velocity at tunnel condition are 7.5 kg/m³, 1.22 x 10-5 Ns/m² and 290 m/s. Determine the flow velocity and the scale of the model.
