An aircraft is in level flight at 225 km/hr through air at standard conditions. The lift coefficient at this speed is 0.45 and t

he drag coefficient is 0.065. The mass of the aircraft is 900 kg. Calculate the effective lift area for the aircraft and the required engine thrust and power to maintain level flight.

Answer:

- the effective lift area for the aircraft is 8.30 m²

- the required engine thrust is 1275 N

- required power is 79.7 kW

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Speed V = 225 km/hr = 62.5 m/s

The lift coefficient CL = 0.45

drag coefficient CD = 0.065

mass = 900 kg

g = 9.81 m/s²

a)  the effective lift area for the aircraft

we know that for a steady level flight, weight = lift and thrust = drag

Using the equation for the lift force

F_L = C_L\frac{1}{2}ρV²A = W

we substitute

0.45 × \frac{1}{2} × 1.21 × ( 62.5 )² × A = ( 900 × 9.81 )

1081.05 × A = 8829

A = 8829 / 1081.05

A = 8.30 m²

Therefore, the effective lift area for the aircraft is 8.30 m²

b) the required engine thrust and power to maintain level flight.

we use the expression for drag force

F_D = T = C_D\frac{1}{2}ρV²A

we substitute

= 0.065 × \frac{1}{2} × 1.21 × ( 62.5 )² × 8.30

T = 1275 N

Since drag and thrust force are the same,

Therefore, the required engine thrust is 1275 N

Power required;

P = TV

p = 1275 × 62.5

p = 79687.5 W

p = ( 79687.5 / 1000 )kW

p = 79.7 kW

Therefore, required power is 79.7 kW

In a simple machine, the energy input is 120 J. If the efficiency of the machine is 80%, calculate the energy output
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

<h2>96 Joules</h2>

Explanation:

We know that efficiency is the ratio of output power by input power. i.e. Efficiency describes the quality of machine or system how good it is.

Solution,

Energy input of system = 120 J

Efficiency = 80% = \frac{80}{100}  = 0.8

Now,

According to definition,

Efficiency = \frac{output}{input}

Cross multiplication:

output \:  =  \: 0.8 \times 120

Calculate the product

output \:  = 96 \: joules

Hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment...

How far will you travel if you run for 10. minutes at 2.0 m/s?
oee [108]
We know that 1 minute= 60 seconds (or 1 min= 60 s).

10 min* (60 s/ 1 min)* (2.0 m/ 1 s)= 1,200 m.
(Note that the units cancel out so you get the answer)

The final answer is 1,200 m.

Hope this helps~
