Question

brainly an andean condor with a wingspan and a mass soars along a horizontal path. model its wings as a rectangle with a width. determine the difference between the pressure at the top surfaces of the condor's wings and the pressure at the bottom surfaces brainly

Answer 1

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.

Difference in pressure between the top and bottom of the wingspan

The difference in pressure between the top and bottom of the wingspan is calculated as follows;

ΔP = P(top) - P(bottom)

Area of the wingspan

A = bh

A = 2.7 m x 0.27 m

A = 0.729 m²

Weight of the Andean condor

W = mg

W = 9 x 9.8

W = 88.2 N

Pressure at the top surface of condor's wings

The pressure at the top surface of condor's wings is due to atmospheric pressure

P(top) = 14.7 Psi = 101,325 Pa

Pressure at the bottom surface of condor's wings

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.
