Experiments were conducted in a wind tunnel with a wind speed of 16.66 m/sec on a flat plate having area 2.25 x 10 4 cm2 and 1.5 m wide. The density of air is 1.2 kg/m3, the co-efficient of lift and drag are 0.25 and 0.70 respectively. Determine (i) the lift force, (ii) the drag force, (iii) direction of resultant force and (iv) the power exerted by air on plate.
Skydiver Luke jumps with his parachute of diameter D = 12 m out of an airplane. The combined
mass of the parachute and Luke is 100 kg. The drag coefficient for the fully open parachute is
CD = 1.4. Neglecting acceleration and considering a linear change of air density with altitude,
estimate Luke's fall time between altitudes of 3000 m and 2000 m. For the density of air at
these two altitudes, assume pair(3000m) = 1.0 kg/m³ and pair(2000m) = 1.1 kg/m2.
