Air is streaming past a horizontal air plane 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, find the difference in pressure between the top and bottom of the wing. If the wing is 10m long and has an average width of 2m, what will be the Gross lift on the wing? 1. 81.9 N 2. 8.19 kN 3. 81.9kN 4. 819kN

ans is C
P1 +1/2
v12 = P2 +1/2
v22
where v1 and p1 are the vel. and presuree below the wing and p2 and v2 vel and press abv the wing
substituting the given data we find the presuure diffrence
multiplying the abv pressure diff. with area of the wing we get the force
