The difference between the pressure at the top surfaces of the condor's wings and the pressure at the bottom surfaces is 101,204 Pa.
<h3>Difference in pressure between the top and bottom of the wingspan</h3>
The difference in pressure between the top and bottom of the wingspan is calculated as follows;
ΔP = P(top) - P(bottom)
<h3>Area of the wingspan</h3>
A = bh
A = 2.7 m x 0.27 m
A = 0.729 m²
<h3>Weight of the Andean condor</h3>
W = mg
W = 9 x 9.8
W = 88.2 N
<h3>Pressure at the top surface of condor's wings</h3>
The pressure at the top surface of condor's wings is due to atmospheric pressure
P(top) = 14.7 Psi = 101,325 Pa
<h3>Pressure at the bottom surface of condor's wings</h3>
The pressure at the bottom surface is due to weight of andean condor.
P = W/A
P(bottom) = 88.2/0.729
P(bottom) = 120.99 Pa
The difference between the pressure at the top surfaces of the condor's wings and the pressure at the bottom surfaces is calculated as;
ΔP = P(top) - P(bottom)
ΔP = 101,325 Pa - 120.99 Pa
ΔP = 101,204 Pa
The complete question is below;
An Andean condor with a wingspan of 270 cm and a mass of 9.00 kg soars along a horizontal path. Model its wings as a rectangle with a width of 27.0 cm.
