17.30) For the airfoil with the performance characteristics shown in Fig. 17.11 , determine the lift and drag at an angle of attack of 10°. The airfoil has a chord length of 1.4 m and a span of 6.8 m. Perform the calculation at a speed of 200 km/h in the standard atmosphere at (a) 200 m and (b) 10 000 m.
Why can gases be compressed so much more readily than solids or liquids?
When the U.S. submarineSqualus became disabled at a depth of 80 m, a cylindrical chamberwas lowered from a ship to rescue the crew. The chamberhad a radius of 1.00 m and a height of 4.00 m, was open at thebottom, and held two rescuers. It slid along a guide cable that adiver had attached to a hatch on the submarine. Once the chamberreached the hatch and clamped to the hull, the crew could escapeinto the chamber. During the descent, air was released fromtanks to prevent water from flooding the chamber. Assume thatthe interior air pressure matched the water pressure at depth has given by p0 +rgh, where p0=1.000 atm is the surface pressureand r=1024 kg/m3 is the density of seawater. Assume a surfacetemperature of 20.0C and a submerged water temperatureof -30.0C. (a)What is the air volume in the chamber at the surface?(b) If air had not been released from the tanks, what wouldhave been the air volume in the chamber at depth h=80.0 m?(c) How many moles of air were needed to be released to…

- A frequency quoted rule of thumb 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 be sea level density of air as 1.29kg/m3, how fast must it move over be 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 his not all of be aircraft's lift—some comes from be body of the plane, some from engine thrust, and so on. Furthermore, Bernoulli's principle gives approximate answer because flow over wing creates turbulence.)arrow_forwardLook back to figure 14.29. Answer the following two question.
