    How Do Birds Generate Lift and Drag While Gliding?

    Nothing in class, and i didn't buy the textbook. But thanks, i'll try googling still. If anyone knows any equations that'd be grand though.

    How Do Birds Generate Lift and Drag While Gliding?

    Ahh, okay, well honestly, i don't think we've covered this in class. I have a free body diagram already. Do you have any ideas on what equations i could use to solve these ? I understand F=ma, but due to them having angles it messes me up. I know Drag is 15 degrees from the horizontal and Lift...

    How Do Birds Generate Lift and Drag While Gliding?

    1. A bird is gliding at an angle of 15° to the horizontal at a constant velocity. If the mass of the bird is 0.45 kg, calculate the lift and drag forces acting on the bird. 2.A bird is gliding with a constant velocity. Its forward speed is 5 m/s and its sinking speed is 0.88 m/s. If the...
