Homework Statement
An airplane has a mass of 1.60 x 10^4kg and each wing has an area of 40.0m^2.
During level flight, the pressure on the lower wing surface is 7.00x10^4Pa. Determine
the pressure on the upper wing surface?
Homework Equations
Newtons third law
The Attempt at a Solution
As I read through about airplane and wing I see that the force on the wing
has an equal and opposite reaction force. Also the curvature of the wing is a factor.
This problem states no curvature? The wings are assumed parellel to plane.
Is this simply 7.00x10^4 for the top? from the information given or am I missing
something
Thanks,
Kevin
