calculate the mass of aeroplane with the wings of area 55m2 flying horizontally. The velocity of air above and below the wings is 155m/s and 140 m/s
Answers
Answer:
Mass = Velocity ÷ time
in this case,
155 - 140 = 15 m/s
15 * 55 m²
825 kg
Answer:
Mass of the Aeroplane m = 24337.5 kgs
Explanation:
Let v₁ and v₂ be the velocities of air above and below surface of wings.
and P₁ and P₂ be the pressure of the wings.
According to Bernoulli's theorem,
P₁+(1/2)ρ(v₁)² = P₂+(1/2)ρ(v₂)²
P₁ - P₂ = (1/2)ρ(v₂²-v₁²)
Here, v₁ = 140 m/s and v₂ = 155 m/s
ρ is the density of air = 1 kg/m³
Area of wings A = 2 × 55 = 110m²
So, P₁ - P₂ = (1/2)×1×(155²-140²)
= (1/2)×(24025-19600)
= (1/2)×(4425)
= 2212.5
Upward force on the plane = (P₁ - P₂)×A
= 2212.5×110
= 243375
As the plane is in the level flight, therefore upward force balances the weight of the plane.
mg = (P₁ - P₂)×A where m is the mass of Aeroplane
m = [(P₁ - P₂)×A]/g
Here g = 10 (approximately)
m = 243375/10
m = 24337.5 kgs
Hence, Mass of the Aeroplane m = 24337.5 kgs
