Problem 2 An airplane has a mass of 1.2 million grams and is cruising horizontally at an altitude of 23000 feet at a speed of 205 miles per hour. Each wing has a width of 6ft and extends 18ft from the fuselage on each side. What is the drag force on the plane due to the wings and what is the horsepower needed to overcome this force? For this problem, the air density is 0.0657lbm/ft3 and the viscosity is 0.000000364lbfs/ft2. Also calculate the lift coefficient (CL​) for this aircraft. Note that the lift force (FL​) for an airplane is given by the following equation: FL​=CL​Apl​(2ρV2​) where Apl is the planform area which is 108 ft2 for this application and rho is the air density.
