A-10A twin-jet close-support airplane is approximately rectangular with a wingspan (the length perpendicular to the flow directi

on) of 17.5 m and a chord (the length parallel to the flow direction) of 3 m. The airplane is flying at standard sea level with a velocity of 200 m/s. If the flow is considered to be completely laminar, calculate the boundary layer thickness at the trailing edge and the total skin friction drag. Assume that the wing is approximated by a flat plate. Assume incompressible flow.

Solution :

Given :

Rectangular wingspan

Length,L = 17.5 m

Chord, c = 3 m

Free stream velocity of flow, $V_{\infty}$ = 200 m/s

Given that the flow is laminar.

$Re_L=\frac{\rho V L}{\mu _{\infty}}$

      $=\frac{1.225 \times 200 \times 3}{1.789 \times 10^{-5}}$

    $= 4.10 \times 10^7$

So boundary layer thickness,

$\delta_{L} = \frac{5.2 L}{\sqrt{Re_L}}$

$\delta_{L} = \frac{5.2 \times 3}{\sqrt{4.1 \times 10^7}}$

    = 0.0024 m

The dynamic pressure, $q_{\infty} =\frac{1}{2} \rho V^2_{\infty}$

                                           $ =\frac{1}{2} \times 1.225  \times 200^2$

                                          $=2.45 \times 10^4 \ N/m^2$

The skin friction drag co-efficient is given by

$C_f = \frac{1.328}{\sqrt{Re_L}}$

     $=\frac{1.328}{\sqrt{4.1 \times 10^7}}$

     = 0.00021

$D_{skinfriction} = \frac{1}{2} \rho V^2_{\infty}S C_f$

                  $=\frac{1}{2} \times 1.225 \times 200^2 \times 17.5 \times 3 \times 0.00021$

                  = 270 N

Therefore the net drag = 270 x 2

                                      = 540 N

On earth, what is a child’s mass if the force of gravity on the child’s body is 100 N
ikadub [295]

Answer: 10.2 kg if g = 9.8, 10 if g = 10.

Explanation:

Weight or the "force of gravity" on a person is simply defined by the equation: F = ma. In this case, the acceleration is g, which is 9.8 but can be rounded up to 10. Based on this, we have:

F = mg

100 = m*9.8

m = 10.2(or 10 if we set g to 10).
