A small business jet has a wing area of 21.5 m2 and an aspect ratioof
5. Assume the wing has a NACA 65-210 airfoil, a spanefficiency
factor of 0.9, and a profile drag coefficient of 0.004. Calculatethe
wing lift and drag coefficients if the wing is operating at 6degree
angle-of-attack.

<p>Calculate the ratio of the drag force on a jet flying at 874 km/h at an altitude of 11 km to the drag force on a prop-driven transport flying at half that speed and altitude. The density of air is 0.32 kg/m3 at 11 km and 0.64 kg/m3 at 5.5 km. Assume that the airplanes have the same effective cross-sectional area and drag coefficient C.</p>

The dominant form of drag experienced by vehicles (bikes, cars, planes, etc.) at operating speeds is called form drag. It increases quadratically with velocity (essentially because the amount of air you run into increases with v and so does the amount of force you must exert on each small volume of air). Thus Ā ,where A is the cross-sectional area of the vehicle and Cd is called the coefficient of drag.

Consider a vehicle moving with constant velocity

b) A certain car has an engine that provides a maximum power P0. Suppose that the maximum speed of the car, v0, is limited by a drag force proportional to the square of the speed (as in the previous part). The car engine is now modified, so that the new power P1 is 10 percent greater than the original power (P1=110%P0).

Assume the following:

The top speed is limited by air drag.
The magnitude of the force of air drag at these speeds is proportional to the square of the speed.

By what percentage, (v1āˆ’v0)/v0, is the top speed of the car increased?
