A plane is in level flight at constant speed and each of its two wings has an area of `25 m^2`. If the speed of the air is `180 km//h` over the lower wing and `234 km//h` over the upper wing surface, determine the plane’s mass. (Take air density to be `1 kg m^-3`)

In a test experiment on a model aeroplane in a wind tunnel, the flow speeds on the upper and lower surfaces of the wing are 70 m s^-1 and 63 m s^-1 respectively. What is the lift on the wing if its area is 2.5 m^2 ? Take the density of air to be 1.3 kg m^-3

Ten small planes are flying at a speed of 150km/h in total darkness in an air space that is 20xx20xx1.5 km^3 in volume. You are in one of the planes, flying at random within this space with no way of knowing where the other planes are. On the average about how long a time will elapse between near collision with your plane. Assume for this rough computation that a safety region around the plane can be approximated by a sphere of radius 10m.
