Basic Terminology in Mechanics

The area of science and mathematics concerned the motion of the objects, the relation between the force matter, and motion if specified. Forces exerted over the objects result in displacements or changes in the position of an object concerning its environment. This branch of physics keeps its roots in Ancient Greece in the form of the scripts of Aristotle and Archimedes.

If the pressure difference in the wind tunnel experiment is 50 mmH,0, the density of air is 1.2 kg/m in wind tunnel experiment, and the airfoil span is 204 mm, and the cord length is 98 mm, what is the lift coefficient if the lift force is L=13.4 N
Long flights at midlatitudes in the Northern Hemisphere encounter the jet stream, an eastward airflow that can affect a plane's speed relative to Earth's surface. If a pilot maintains a certain speed relative to the air (the plane's airspeed), the speed relative to the surface (the plane's ground speed) is more when the flight is in the direction of the jet stream and less when the flight is opposite the jet stream. Suppose a round-trip flight is scheduled between two cities separated by 3200 km, with the outgoing flight in the direction of the jet stream and the return flight opposite it. The airline computer advises an airspeed of 810 km/h, for which the difference in flight times for the outgoing and return flights is 72 min. What jet-stream speed is the computer using?

A car with mass 1600 kg and negligible aerodynamics is braking on an asphalt with global longitudinal friction coefficient 0.75. What is the maximum possible deceleration?
You are designing an airfoil for a new hobby RC plane. Because of your limited knowledge, you have mistakenly approximated your airfoil as an ellipse with a = 75mm and b = 12mm. Here, “a” is the depth of your wing and “b” is the thickness. Your plane travels through the air at approximately 20mph (8.9m/s). As it does so, skin friction produces a drag-induced heat of 800W on your wind, of length 1m. Properties of Air: k = 0.025 W/mK, Pr = 0.72, v = 1.847 x 10−5, u = 16.84 x 10−6, p = 1.2 kg/m3, B = 1/Tf (ideal gas), TInfinity = 25oC a) What is the Reynold’s number? Hint: “D” is taken to be the thickness for an elliptical crosssection. b) What is the Nusselt number? c) What is the convection coefficient? d) What is the average temperature of your wing? Assume an ellipse perimeter of approximately 200mm.
