Question

The wing of an airplane has an average cross-sectional area of 15 m2 and experiences a lift force of 93,000 N. What is the average difference in the air pressure (in N/m^2)between the top and bottom of the wing

Answer 1

The pressure between the top and bottom of the wing is 6200 Pa.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Cross sectional area of the wing of an airplane,
`A=15\ m^2`

Force acting on the airplane, F = 93000 N

We need to find the pressure between the top and bottom of the wing. We know that the net force acting per unit area of an object is called pressure. It is given by :

`P=(F)/(A)\\\\P=(93000\ N)/(15\ m^2)\\\\P=6200\ Pa`

So, the pressure between the top and bottom of the wing is 6200 Pa. Hence, this is the required solution.
