- Why is it preferable for airplanes to take off into the wind rather than with the wind?arrow_forwardA frequently quoted rule of thumb in aircraft design is that wings should produce about 1000 N of lift per square meter of wing. (The fact that a wing has a top and bottom surface does not double its area.) (a) At takeoff, an aircraft travels at 60.0 m/s, so that the air speed relative to the bottom of the wing is 60.0 m/s. Given the sea level density of air to be 1.29 kg/m3, how fast must it move over the upper surface to create the ideal lift? (b) How fast must air move over the upper surface at a cruising speed of 245 m/s and at an altitude where air density is one-fourth that at sea level? (Note that this is not all of the aircraft's lift—some comes from the body of the plane, some from engine thrust, and so on. Furthermore, Bernoulli's principle gives an approximate answer because flow over the wing creates turbulence.)arrow_forwardYou are part of a team in an engineering class that is working on a scale model of a new design for a life vest. You have been asked to find the mass of a piece of foam that will be used for flotation. Because the piece is too bulky to fit on your balance, you break it into two parts. You measure the mass of the first part as 128.3 0.3 g and the second part as 77.0 0.3 g. a. What are the maximum and minimum values for the total mass you might reasonably report? b. What is the best estimate for the total mass of the foam? Hint: Propagation of uncertainty is described in Appendix A.arrow_forward
- In Take-Home Experiment: Inhalation, we measured the average flow rate Q of air traveling through the trachea during each inhalation. Now calculate the average air speed in meters per second through your trachea during each inhalation. The radius of the trachea in adult humans is approximately 10-2 m. From the data above, calculate the Reynolds number for the air flow in the trachea during inhalation. Do you expect the air flow to be laminar or turbulent?arrow_forwardAssume it takes 7.00 minutes to fill a 30.0-gal gasoline tank.
