AI Thread Summary
To determine the net upward force on an airplane wing with an area of 20 m² and airflow speeds of 300 m/s above and 280 m/s below, Bernoulli's equation is essential. The difference in airspeed creates a pressure differential, leading to lift. The discussion highlights the need to relate fluid speed to pressure using Bernoulli's principle. Participants seek guidance on applying this equation to calculate the lift force. Understanding these concepts is crucial for solving the problem effectively.

Homework Statement


What is the net upward force on an airplane wing of area 20 m2 if the speed of air flow is 300 m/s across the top and 280 m/s across the bottom.

The Attempt at a Solution



I have a feeling that this is an easy question, but i just don't know how to solve it! Any hints would be greatly appreciated.

Hint: there is a lift force is because the pressure on the top and bottom surfaces of the wing are different.

What equations do you know that relate pressure in a fluid to the speed of flow?
 
So that would be Bernoulli's equation, right?
But how would you use that in this case?

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
