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. The effective lift area of the aircraft NOTE= Do not give wrong answer I will dislike , If not sure skip it

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.
Hoerner states that the drag coeffi -cient of a flag of 2:1 aspect ratio is 0.11 based on the planformarea. The University of Rhode Island has analuminum flagpole 25 m high and 14 cm in diameter.It flies equal-sized national and state flags together. Ifthe fracture stress of aluminum is 210 MPa, what is themaximum flag size that can be used without breaking theflagpole in hurricane (75 mi/h) winds? (Neglect the dragof the flagpole.)
A wind tunnel is being used to study the aerodynamics of a full-scale model rocket that is 30 cm long. Scaling for drag calculations are based on the Reynolds number. The rocket hasan expected maximum velocity of 190 km/h. What is the Reynolds number at this speed? Assume ambient air is at 20°C. The wind tunnel is capable of speeds up to 160 km/h; so an attempt is made to improve this top speed by varying the air temperature. Calculate the equivalent speed for the wind tunnel using air at 5°C and 65°C. Would replacing air with carbon dioxide provide higher equivalent speeds?

Fluid Mechanics Problem: A ship is 150 m long and has a wetted area of 5000 m2.If it is encrusted with barnacles, the ship requires 7000 hp to overcome friction drag when moving in seawater at 15 kn and 20oC.
