An airplane has a mass of 48,000 kg, a wing area of 300 m2, a maximum lift coefficient of 3.2, and a cruising drag coefficient of 0.03 at an altitude of 12,000 m. Determine (a) the takeoff speed at sea level, assuming it is 20 percent over the stall speed, and (b) the thrust that the engines must deliver for a cruising speed of 900 km/h.

b) A business jet with a mass of about 13,000 kg when fully loaded with 9 passengers takes off at a speed of 240 km/h. Calculate the takeoff speed when the airplane has 4 empty seats. Assume each passenger with luggage is 150 kg and the wing and flap settings are maintained the same.
A vehicle manufacturer is considering an engine for a new sedan (CD = 0.41, Af = 1.95 m2). The car is being designed to achieve a top speed of 75 kph on a paved surface at sea level (p = 1.225 kg/m³). The car currently weighs 1100 kg, but the designers initially selected an underpowered engine because they did not account for aerodynamic and rolling resistances. What they did not know is that the test is done on a downhill with a grade of %3D 3%. If 1.2 kg of additional vehicle weight is added for each unit of horsepower needed to overcome the neglected resistance, what will be the additional horsepower of the car if it is to achieve the 75 kph top speed? 9.962 O 8.175 4.446 None of these O 7.354 6.742 8.511
The pilot of a jet transport brings the engines to full takeoff power before releasing the brakes as the aircraft is standing on the runway. The jet thrust remains constant, and the aircraft has a near-constant acceleration of 0.32g (where g is the gravitational acceleration). If the takeoff speed is 208 km/h, calculate the distance (m) required to takeoff.
Q- An automobile with projected area 2.6 m² is running on a road with a speed of 120 km per hour. The mass density and the kinematic viscosity of air are 1.2 kg/m² and 1.5 × 10-5 m²/s, respectively. The drag coefficient is 0.30. Find the drag force on the automobile.

As most of you know, commercial transport planes cruise at an altitude of approximately 10,000 m. The power required to maintain level flight depends on air drag or resistance at that altitude, which may be estimated by the relationship 1 power = Pe C„AU³ air where pr is density of air at the given altitude, C, represents the drag coefficient of the plane, A is the planform area, and U represents the cruising speed of the plane. Assume that a plane is moving at constant speed and, C, remaining constant, determine the ratio of power that would be required when the plane is cruising at 8000 m and when the plane is cruising at 11,000 m.
