The wing loading on an airplane is defined as the aircraft weight divided by the wing area. An airplane is cruising with a wing loading of 2500 Pa. The lift coefficient and drag coefficient are 0.30 and 0.06, respectively. Calculate the drag force if the wing planform area is 12 m2. Assume that the air density is unknown and not given.
Qustion. An aircraft is flying in level flight at a speed of 200 km/h through air (density, p = 1.2 kg/m³, and viscosity, μ = 1.6 x 10-5 N-s/m²). The lift coefficient at this speed is 0.4 and the drag coefficient is 0.0065. The mass of the aircraft is 800 kg.

3) An advertising sign mounted on the roof of a car is 33 inches tall, 15 inches wide and 54 inches long (airflow direction). The underside of the sign is flush with the top surface of the roof. Take air properties to be: p = 0.075 lbm/ft' and u= 1.22x10 lbm/ft.sec. Used a pressure drag coefficient of 1.2 for the advertisement sign. Calculate the total drag on the sign and the power required to overcome its effect if the car is travelling at a constant speed of a) 12 mph and b) 45 mph. Note: Provide a schematic diagram (sketch) of the problem configuration (if applicable). Every numerical calculation must be preceded by the appropriate equation. Do not forget units & dimensions during your calculations.
