Question

The wing of an airplane has an average cross-sectional area of 12 m2 and experiences a lift force of 75,000 n.what is the average difference in the air pressure between the top and bottom of the wing

Answer 1

The difference in pressure is the lift force that the wing of the air plane experiences over the area of the wing.

Pressure = F/A

Where F is force acting on the surface in Newtons and A is the area of the surface in M².

Substituting in the formula we have:

75000/12 = 6250N/m²
