Problem

As an airplane is flying, it is determined that the airflow speed past the lower surface of the wing is 100 m/s. What speed of airflow over the upper surface of the wing would give a pressure difference of 1000 Pa? 1.293 kgm3\frac{kg}{m^3} is the density of the air. a. 102 m/s b. 103 m/s c. 105 m/s d. 108 m/s e. 111 m/s
