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

Dahasolnce [82]

This is Kinematics and the equations in your book.

A speed time graph would plot the speed of something against the teime it was at a speed.

If it were changing it speed constantly, that would be a straight line if acclerating. Total distrance would be the area under the graph.

A 56.0 kg box hangs from a rope. what is the tension in the rope if: the box has vy = 5.30 m/s and is speeding up at 5.10 m/s2 ?
Minchanka [31]

T = tension force in the rope in upward direction

m = mass of the box attached at end of rope = 56 kg

W = weight of the box in downward direction due to gravity

a = acceleration of the box in upward direction = 5.10 m/s²

weight of the box is given as

W = mg

inserting the values

W = (56) (9.8)

W = 548.8 N


force equation for the motion of the box is given as

T - W = ma

inserting the values

T - 548.8 = (56) (5.10)

T = 834.4 N

Which of the following states that all matter tends to "warp" space in its vicinity and that objects react to this warping by ch
Natasha2012 [34]
There are no choices on the list you provided that make such a statement,
and it's difficult to understand what is meant by "the following".

That statement is one way to describe the approach to 'forces of gravity'
taken by the theory of Relativity.
