Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A wind turbine blade has a reference area of 5 m², operates in air where density is 1.225 kg/m³ at a velocity of 12 m/s. If the drag force recorded is 300 N, calculate the Cd.

💡 Hint: Plug in your values carefully!

Question 2

Discuss how changing weather conditions, such as increased humidity and wind speed, may affect the Cd of a racing car on the track.

💡 Hint: Evaluate the relationship between fluid properties and aerodynamic performance.
