Question
A jet airplane in level flight has a mass of 8.60 ✕ 104 kg, and the two wings have an estimated total area of 91.0 m2.
(a) What is the pressure difference between the lower and upper surfaces of the wings?
Pa
(b) If the speed of air under the wings is 229 m/s, what is the speed of the air over the wings? Assume air has a density of 1.29 kg/m3.
m/s
(c) Explain why all aircraft have a "ceiling," a maximum operational altitude.
The density of air Decreases or increases with increasing height, resulting in a Smaller or greater pressure difference. Beyond the maximum operational altitude, the pressure difference can no longer support the aircraft.

A typical hot-air balloon has a total mass of 544 kg, including passengers in its basket, and holds 2.80 x 103 m3 of hot air in its envelope. If the ambient air density is 1.24 kg/m³, determine the density (in kg/m³) of hot air inside the envelope when the balloon is neutrally buoyant. Neglect the volume of air displaced by the basket and passengers.arrow_forward
- A sealed tank containing seawater to a height of 11.0 m also contains air above the water at a gauge pressure of 3.00 atm. Water flows out from the bottom through a small hole. How fast is this water moving? (Assume that the cross-sectional area of the tank (A1) is much larger than the cross-sectional area of the hole ( A2), so v_1 << v_2 and the (1/2)ρ(v_1)^2 term can be neglected.)arrow_forwardThe bottom of a rectangular swimming pool is 15 m × 25 m.

- An automobile weighing 1.19 x 104 N has weight equally distributed over its wheels. The weight of the car causes each tire to be slightly flattened on the bottom so that there is a surface area in contact with the road. The gauge pressure of the air in the tire is 1.90 x 105 Pa (27.55 lb/in2). Find the area of contact, assuming that the only forces on the section of tire in contact with the road are the air pressure and the normal force exerted by the surface of the road.arrow_forwardFor the next two items: A playroom has dimensions 3700 mm x 4300 mm x 2500 mm.
