Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A wind turbine blade has a length of 2 meters and a diameter of 0.3 meters. It operates in air that flows at a speed of 15 m/s. Calculate the drag force acting on the blade if the drag coefficient is known to be 1.5.

💡 Hint: Ensure you account for the unit conversions if necessary.

Question 2

You are tasked to design a car with a minimized drag coefficient. What factors would you consider in your design process, and why?

💡 Hint: Think about how racing cars are designed and what features they have compared to regular cars.
