When the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA)measured the lift and drag on airfoil models in the 1930s & 40sin their specially designed airfoil windtunnel, they made wingsthat spanned the entire section, with the wing tips butted againstthe two side-walls of the tunnel. This was done to ensure that theflow over each airfoil section of the wing was essentiallytwo-dimensional (no wing tip effects). Such an arrangementprevented measuring the lift and drag with a force balance. Instead, using a Pitot tube, the NACA obtained the drag bymeasuring the velocity distribution behind the wing in a planeperpendicular to the plane of the wing, i. e., the Pitot tube, located a fixed distance downstream of the wing, traversed theheight from the top to the bottom of the test section. Using acontrol volume approach, derive a formula for the drag per unitspan on the model as a function of the integral of the measuredvelocity distribution. For simplicity, assume incompressibleflow.

The astronauts on the space shuttle flights experienced an acceleration of 29 m/s2 (about 3 "g's") during lift-off. what upward force must the astronaut's seat apply to the astronaut in order to cause this acceleration? assume the astronaut's mass is 70 kg, and compute this force when the acceleration is near the earth's surface so their weight equals latex: mg m g .
