8. A Piper Cherokee is flying at 4000 ft standard altitude at 105 mph. The wing has a rectangular planform (shape) with a span of 30 ft and a chord of 5.33 ft. Assuming that the turbulent boundary layer grows as on a smooth plate and a completely turbulent boundary layer flow, determine: (a) The boundary layer thickness at the downstream edge of the wing. (b) The total skin friction drag coefficient of the wing. (c) The total skin friction drag of the wing in pounds.

9. Repeat the analysis for Prob. 8 assuming that the boundary layer is laminar.

An eagle is flying horizontally at the altitude of 400 ft with a velocity of 16 ft/s when it drops a dead prey. A frog jumps 2 seconds later at a site facing away from the eagle and 60 ft from the point beneath the original position of the bird. If the frog catches the falling prey at the height of 144 ft, determine the initial speed and angle of inclination of the frog. Please use an advanced math way...

A skydiver, weighing 180 lb (including equipment) falls vertically downward from an altitude of 4000 ft and opens the parachute after 10 s of free fall. Assume that the force of air resistance, which is directed opposite to the velocity, is of magnitude 0.75|v| when the parachute is closed and is of magnitude 10|v| when the parachute is open, where the velocity v is measured in ft/s. (A computer algebra system is recommended. Use g = 32 ft/s2 for the...
