Air is streaming past a horizontal airplane wing such that its speed is 120 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 of
Given,
Velocity v2 = 120 , Velocity v1 = 90 m/s
Density of air = 1.3 kg/m3
From the Bernoulli's theorem
P1−P2=12 ρ (v22−v21)=12×1.3 × [(120)2−(90)2]
= 4095 N/m2 or Pascal
