Momentum and CollisionHard

Question

Air is streaming past a horizontal aeroplane wing such that its speed is 120 m/s over the upper surface and 90 m/s at the lower surface. If the density of air is 1.3 kg/m3 and the wing is 10 m long and has an average width of 2 m, then the difference of the pressure on the two sides of the wing is :-

Options

A.40.95 N/m2
B.409.5 N/m2
C.4095 N/m2
D.40950 N/m2

Solution

Using Bernoulli′s theorem
P1 + ρv12 + ρgh1 = P2 + ρv22 + ρgh2
For the horizontal motion of the plane h1 = h2, then
P1 + ρv12 = P2 + ρv22
or P2 - P1 = ρ(V12 - V22)
 = × 1.3[1202 - 902]
= 0.65[210 × 30] = 4095 N/m2
