Answer:
P= 2414.9 Pa
Explanation:
given
density of air , p = 1.29 kg/m³
speed of air over the upper surface , v₁ = 125 m/s
speed of air over the lower surface , v₂ = 109 m/s
the pressure difference on an airplane wing , P = 0.5 × p × ( v₁² – v₂²)
P = 0.5 × 1.29 × ( 125² – 109²)
P= 0.645(3744)
P = 2414.9 Pa
the pressure difference on an airplane wing is 2414.9 Pa
