The area of the kite is A=4m2. The wind speed is v=9m/s. The density of air is ρ=1.29kg/m3. If the kite is designed such that the air is stationary on the inner surface, how much force (unit N, only keep the integer numbers) can the kiteboarder expect the kite to generate?

A house is to be designed to withstand hurricane-force winds. The maximum wind velocity is 88 m s . The surface area of the roof is A = 450 m^2 . If the density of air is ρ = 1.03 kg m^3 , how much force must the roof supports be able to withstand?
The average wind speed is 6 m/s at a 10-m-high anemometer. Estimate the average power density in the wind at a height of 80 m. Assume Rayleigh statistics, a standard friction coefficient α = 1/7, and standard air density ρ = 1.225 kg/m3.

). A wind turbine in the hurricane region has not been destroyed by the storm. If boundary layer winds were approximately the same speed as that calculated in question 4, would this turbine be able to produce energy? Why or why not? b). Normally (i.e. not in a hurricane) this large turbine, which sweeps out an area of 7.5 m2, operates in typical local winds of 12 km/hr at an air density of 1.2 kg/m3. Roughly how much power would...
Ex.3 /35 A Cessna 172 has a cruise speed V-226 km/h and weight W-1,000Kg. The wing area is S-16mt with a wing span b-1lm Assuming the wing rectangular, what is the Reynolds number at an altitude z-1,000m. A model of this airplane, scaled by a factor of 2, is tested in a wind tunnel at sea level. What should be the velocity in the wind tunnel to have dynamics similarity (neglect Mach number effects). What will be the lift measured...
need help with fluid mechanics problem Name: 4. (15 pts) Wind blowing past a flag cuses it to"ap in the breeze. The flapping frequency is assumed to be a function of the wind speed V, air density p gravitational acceleration g, length of the flag I, and the area density" pa (which has dimensions M/L2) of the flag material Using the Buckingham Pi theorem with V, p, and Las your repeating variables, determine the relevant dimensionless groups. Nate. You must...

Assuming that the flow on the surface of the wing produce a laminar boundary layer and the velocity profile is given as follows; Determine the theoretical value of; 8" where Rex is the Reynold number at a distance x from the leading edge of the wing, Rei is the Reynolds number at the trailing edge of the wing and Cr (or Cp) is the average skin...
A bridge is supported by two types of rectangular cross-section piles located in a river as shown in Figure 1. The width of the piles is w 0.5 m and their lengths are eitherl 2 m or 12 2.5 m. The river of depth of about 20 m runs at 2 m/s. Water density is ρ-1000 kg/m' and its absolute viscosityH-1 .00 x 103 N.s/m2 You are asked to perform dimensional analysis to find the drag force on the piles,...
