(a) To calculate the lift coefficient
, we need to convert the angle of attack from degrees to radians. Given that the angle of attack is
, we can convert it to radians using the formula:
Substituting the given value of
, we get:
Now, we can calculate the lift coefficient using the given formula:
Substituting the value of
, we get:
Therefore, the lift coefficient
is approximately 0.21.(b) To determine the lift force, we can use the lift equation:
Where:-
is the lift force-
is the air density-
is the airspeed-
is the wing area-
is the lift coefficientGiven that the chord length is 1.5 m, wing span is 2 m, and the airspeed is 30 m/s, we can calculate the wing area
as:
Substituting the given values, we get:
Now, we can calculate the lift force using the lift equation:
Therefore, the lift force is approximately 0.98 N.
