A plane of mass 3250 g3250 {~g} is in level flight at a constant speed and each wing has an area of 25 m225 {~m}^2. During flight the speed of the air is 216 kmh−1216 \,{kmh}^{-1} over the lower wing surface and 252 kmh−1252 \,{kmh}^{-1} over the upper wing surface of each wing of aeroplane. Take density of air =1 kgm−3=1 \,{kgm}^{-3} and g=10 ms−2g=10 {~ms}^{-2}.
If a plane is in level flight with a speed of 360 kmh−1360 \,{kmh}^{-1} then the fractional increase in the speed of the air on the upper surface of the wing relative to the lower surface is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
6.5%6.5 \%
Option C (6.5%6.5 \%) is correct because it is the fractional increase in air speed on the upper surface, calculated using Bernoulli's principle and the lift equation.
