A passenger on a jet airplane claims to be able to walk at a speed in excess of 500 mph. Can this be true? Explain!

The a992 steel rod bc has a diameter of 50 mm and is used as a strut to support the beam. determine the maximum intensity w of the uniform distributed load that can be applied to the beam without risk of causing the strut to buckle. take f.s. = 2 against bucklin

The ratio of lift to drag l/d for a wing or airfoil is an important aerodynamic parameter, indeed, it is a direct measure of the aerodynamic efficiency of the wing. if a wing is pitched through a range of angle of attack, l/d first increases, then goes through a maximum, and then decreases. consider an infinite wing with an naca 2412 airfoil. estimate the maximum value of l/d. assume that the reynolds number is 9x10^6.

Alarge box of mass m is pulled across a horizontal frictionless surface by a horizontal rope with tension t. a small box of mass m sits on top of the large box. the coefficients of static and
