What is the average difference in the air pressure between the top and bottom of the wing?

Question

The wing of an airplane has an average cross-sectional area of 11 m² and experiences a lift force of 72,000 N. What is the average difference in the air pressure between the top and bottom of the wing?

Answer 1

The wing of an airplane has an average cross-sectional area of 11 m² and experiences a lift force of 72,000 N. What is the average difference in the air pressure between the top and bottom of the wing?

Pressure = Force / area

Net force = 72000 N ( Force Difference )

Area = 11m²

^{Pressure difference = Force difference / area}

72000/11 N/m ²

= 6545.45 Pa
