Consider a finite wing with an aspect ratio of 3. Assume an elliptical liftdistribution. The lift slope for the airfoil section is 0.1/degree. Calculateand compare the lift slopes for (a) a straight wing, and (b) a swept wing,with a half-chord line sweep of 45 degrees.
A flat plate of 10ft span and 6 ft chord is placed in an airstream of 100mph under SSLC. If the transition Reynold's number is 10^6, calculate the Total Skin Friction Drag in lbs.
A truck having projected area of 6.5 m² and travelling at 72 km/h has a total resistance of 1.6 kN. Out of this resistance, 30% is due to rolling, 20% due to surface friction and rest is due to drag. Calculate the coefficient of drag if specific weight of air is 12 N/m^3.
