Chapter 3, Problem 3.72P
When immersed in a uniform stream, a thick elliptical cylinder creates a broad downstream wake, as idealized in Fig. P3.72. The pressure at the upstream and downstream sections are approximately equal, and the fluid is water at 20°C. If U0= 4 m/s and L = 80 cm, estimate the drag force on the cylinder per unit width into the paper. Also compute the dimensionless drag coefficient

Icebergs can be driven at substantial speeds by the wind.Let the iceberg be idealized as a large, flat cylinder, D >> L,with one-eighth of its bulk exposed, as in Fig.. Letthe seawater be at rest. If the upper and lower drag forcesdepend on relative velocities between the iceberg and thefluid, derive an approximate expression for the steady icebergspeed V when driven by wind velocity U.
The so-called Rocket Man, Yves Rossy, fl ew across the Alps in2008, wearing a rocket-propelled wing-suit with the followingdata: thrust = 200 lbf, altitude = 8,200 ft, and wingspan = 8 ft(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yves_Rossy). Further assume awing area of 12 ft2, total weight of 280 lbf, CDq = 0.08 for thewing, and a drag area of 1.7 ft2 for Rocket Man. Estimate themaximum velocity possible for this condition, in mi/h.
