Get started for freeAn airplane has a mass of \({\bf{1}}{\bf{.7 \times 1}}{{\bf{0}}^{\bf{6}}}\;{\bf{kg}}\) and the air flows past the lower surface of the wings at 95 m/s. If the wings have a surface area of \({\bf{1200}}\;{{\bf{m}}^{\bf{2}}}\), how fast must the air flow over the upper surface of the wing if the plane is to stay in the air?
Question: Suppose a person can reduce the pressure in his lungs to \({\bf{ - 75\;mm}}\)- Hg gauge pressure. How high can water then be "sucked" up a straw?

(I) If the force \(F\) needed to move the wire in Fig. 10–34 is \(3.4 \times {10^{ - 3}}\;{\rm{N}}\), calculate the surface tension \(\gamma \) of the enclosed fluid. Assume \(l = 0.070\;m\).
A hurricane-force wind of \({\bf{180}}\;{\bf{km/h}}\) blows across the face of a storefront window. Estimate the force on \({\bf{2}}{\bf{.0}}\;{\bf{m \times 3}}{\bf{.0}}\;{\bf{m}}\) the window due to the difference in air pressure inside and outside the window. Assume the store is airtight so the inside pressure remains at 1.0 atm. (This is why you should not tightly seal a building in preparation for a hurricane.)
