The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will use Bernoulli's equation to find the pressure difference between the upper and lower surfaces of the airplane wing, and then calculate the gross lift force. ### Step 1: Identify the given values - Speed of air over the lower surface, \( V_1 = 90 \, \text{m/s} \) - Speed of air over the upper surface, \( V_2 = 120 \, \text{m/s} \) - Density of air, \( \rho = 1.3 \, \text{kg/m}^3 \) - Length of the wing, \( L = 10 \, \text{m} \) - Width of the wing, \( W = 2 \, \text{m} \) ### Step 2: Calculate the pressure difference using Bernoulli's equation According to Bernoulli's equation, the pressure difference between two points can be expressed as: \[ P_2 - P_1 = \frac{1}{2} \rho (V_1^2 - V_2^2) \] Where: - \( P_1 \) is the pressure on the lower surface, - \( P_2 \) is the pressure on the upper surface. Substituting the known values: \[ P_2 - P_1 = \frac{1}{2} \times 1.3 \, \text{kg/m}^3 \times (90^2 - 120^2) \] Calculating \( 90^2 \) and \( 120^2 \): \[ 90^2 = 8100 \quad \text{and} \quad 120^2 = 14400 \] Now, substituting these values into the equation: \[ P_2 - P_1 = \frac{1}{2} \times 1.3 \times (8100 - 14400) \] \[ = \frac{1}{2} \times 1.3 \times (-6300) \] \[ = 0.65 \times (-6300) = -4095 \, \text{Pa} \] The negative sign indicates that the pressure is lower on the upper surface compared to the lower surface. ### Step 3: Calculate the area of the wing The area \( A \) of the wing can be calculated as: \[ A = L \times W = 10 \, \text{m} \times 2 \, \text{m} = 20 \, \text{m}^2 \] ### Step 4: Calculate the gross lift force The lift force \( F \) can be calculated using the formula: \[ F = \Delta P \times A \] Where \( \Delta P = P_2 - P_1 = 4095 \, \text{Pa} \). Substituting the values: \[ F = 4095 \, \text{Pa} \times 20 \, \text{m}^2 = 81900 \, \text{N} \] ### Final Answers - The difference of pressure on the two sides is \( 4095 \, \text{Pa} \). - The gross lift on the wing is \( 81900 \, \text{N} \). ---
