The air pressure on the bottom of an airplane's wings is greater than the pressure on the top, providing an upward lift. Calculate the surface area of the wings required to lift a plane weighing 4.65 105 N if the pressure difference is 0.102 atm.
Here,
pressure difference , P = 0.102 atm
P = 0.102 * 1.01 *10^5 Pa
let the area is A
P * A = force
0.102 * 1.01 *10^5 * A = 4.65 *10^5
A = 45.14 m^2
the area of the wing is 45.14 m^2
