Chapter 9, Problem 85P
A large truck has an essentially boxlike body that causes flow separation at the front edges of the cab at any speed. The drag is mostly profile drag and CD = 0.75. If the projected frontal area of the truck is 9 m2, determine and plot as a function of speed between zero and the legal limit the power that must be delivered to the road to propel the truck.

For a new sailboat, a designer wants to determine the drag force that may be expected at a
given speed. To do so, she places a model of the proposed hull in a test channel and uses three
cables to keep its bow on the center-line of the channel. Dynamometer readings indicate that
for a given speed, the tension is 35 lb in cable AB and 40 lb in cable AE. The drag force is
exerted in the direction of Flow at point A.

Air flows at 10 m/s past a smooth rectangular flat plate 0.3m wide and 3m long. Assuming that the
turbulence level in the oncoming stream is low and that transition occurs at Re- 5*105, calculate the ratio of
total drag when the flow is parallel to the length of the plate to the value when the flow is parallel to the width
take density 1.24 kg/m3 and v-0.15stoke.
The drag equation for the Gofaster 172 is: D = 0.0003v2A. D is drag in pounds; v is airspeed in feet/second; and A is aircraft frontal area in square feet.
At maximum airspeed, D = 140 lbs. How much does max airspeed INCREASE if the fuselage is narrowed such that frontal area A is reduced from 16 ft2 to 14 ft2? Give the answer in ft/sec AND mph.
drag is 140 lbs. at maximum airspeed, regardless of frontal area.
the question is: what is the INCREASE in max airspeed, not what is the max airspeed.

Here are the hints : If the wing does not exist, the velocity distribution is uniform at v=U_inf. Therefore, the x-directional velocity of the air is deceralated by the wing. This implies that the wing applied a force in the -x-direction to the air (Newton's second law). In other words, the air flow applied a force in the x-direction to the wing (Newton's third law). This is the mechanism of drag generation.arrow_forwardThe rectangular wing of a trainer aircraft has a wingspan of 15.3 m and a chord of 3 m, the chord being parallel to the direction of the airflow.
