Problem 3 (Lift and Drag Problems)
Answer the following questions regarding lift and drag:
a. Consider the motion of a kayak on a relatively still lake:
From a fluid mechanics perspective, this presents an interesting situation since the kayaker is moving through two different fluids (air and water), both of which will impart a drag force on the kayak. The bottom of the kayak is relatively streamlined, with a drag coefficient of 0.03. while the top of the kayak (which includes the person has a larger drag coefficient of 0.25. Since the bottom of the kayak is relatively streamlined, we will use the total surface area in determining the drag force, which we will take to be 2.25 m². The top of the kayak is a blunt body, so we will use its frontal area of 0.95 m2. Determine the terminal speed of the kayak, if the person can output 120 Watts worth of power in rowing the kayak. Assume the water has a density of Pwater = 1000 kg/m and the air has a density of Pair = 1.225 kg/m3.
Ans: 3.54 m/s
Here two different drag forces are in action.
One due to water and other due to air.
So final net force is a sum of these two drag forces.
So u get velocity of kayak as 3.54 m/s.

A kayak is a relatively streamlined object. As a first approximation calculate the drag force under the assumption that it acts as a 4-m long flat plate and 0.55-m wide. Determine: a) The drag force when the speed is 5 m / s, b) The power required to maintain speed. c) The drag coefficient. Note: For this problem you can only use the experimental information reported to below, and assuming that the water density is 997 kg / m3 v...
What is the initial drag force for a golf ball with the following conditions? Frontal area: 14 cm2 (remember to convert to m2), air density: 1.204 kg/m3, initial velocity: 50 m/s2, coefficient of drag: 0.3? Less than 0.25 N Between 0.25 and 0.50 N Between 0.50 and 0.75 N More than 0.75 N
Problem 2 (40%). While driving, some of a car's kinetic energy is lost to air drag. We would like to estimate the importance of air drag using dimensional analysis and the Buck- ingham a theorem. The relevant parameters are the drag force (FD), the frontal surface area (A) and velocity of the car (v), as well as the density of air (Pair = 1 kg/m3). Answer the following questions: 1. Derive the expression of the drag force as a function...
Consider a Porsche 911 sports car with a mass of 1900 kg. The air drag force at highway speeds can be approximately calculated as: F_drag = 1/2 C p Av^2 where p = 1.2 kg/m^3 is the density of air, A is the front area of the car, C is the drag coefficient and v is the velocity. For the Porsche 911, we can take A - 2.3 m^2 and C = 0.28. What is the power necessary to overcome...
(40 pts) The drag force exerted on an automobile running at a constant speed of 30 m/s is to be determined by running flow tests on a 1/6 scale model in a water tunnel. The drag force is known to be a function of the characteristic length, L, describing the vehicle frontal section, the vehicle speed relative to the fluid, V, and the fluid density and viscosity. Dimensional analysis has shown the following dimensionless relationship: Cp = º(Re), where FD...

> hello,
I great working and easy to understand. I have a question, isn't that 3.54m/s the cube value of the velocity? because as i can see in the final equation we had V^3.
