Question
An airplane has a mass of 1.60 × 104 kg, and each wing has an area of 40.0 m2. During level flight, the pressure on the lower wing surface is 7.00 × 104 Pa. (a) Suppose the lift on the airplane were due to a pressure difference alone. Determine the pressure on the upper wing surface. (b) More realistically, a significant part of the lift is due to deflection of air downward by the wing. Does the inclusion of this force mean that the pressure in part (a) is higher or lower? Explain.

- 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.
