Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A rectangular box with a width of 1 m, length of 0.5 m, and height of 0.8 m is moving through air at 10 m/s. Calculate the drag force if the drag coefficient is 2. Airstream density is 1.225 kg/m³.

💡 Hint: Remember to calculate the area correctly based on the dimensions given.

Question 2

Discuss how altering the angle of attack of an airplane wing can affect lift and drag during flight.

💡 Hint: Think of how the airflow changes around the wing.
