2. A strut on a stunt plane travelling at 60 m/s is 4 cm in diameter and 24 cm long. Calculate the drag force acting on the strut as a circular cylinder, and as a streamlined strut. Would you expect vortex shedding from the circular cylinder? Take p = 1.2 kg/m and v = 1.5 x 10-5 m²/s. [ANS: 24.88 N: 0.83 N]
