A plane is in lev
Answer :
Given,
Area of the two wings, A = 2 × 25 = 50 m2
Air Velocity over wings, v1 = 234 km/h = 65 m/s
Air Velocity below wings, v2 = 180 km/h = 50 m/s
Density of the air, ρ = 1 kg/m3
Bernoulli’s equation,
(∵ neglecting potential energy)
Let, P1 = pressure over wings
P2 = pressure below wings
⇒
⇒
= 862.5 pa
We have,
Where,
ΔP = change in pressure = P2 – P1
A = area
∴ F = 862.5 pa × 50 m2
= 43125 N
As per Newton’s second law,
F = mg
Where,
F = force
g = acceleration due to gravity
⇒ mass of the plane,
Thus,
Mass of the plane, m ≈ 4400 kg
