Design an experiment to analyze the drag and lift forces on a model aircraft in a wind tunnel. What considerations should be made during the design?
💡 Hint: Think about how real-life aircraft are tested and the kind of data required.
Calculate the drag force acting on a bird of mass 2 kg when winds at 30 km/h are present. Assume a drag coefficient of 0.5 and cross-sectional area of 0.1 m².
💡 Hint: Make sure to convert km/h to m/s for the equation!
