The weight of an aeroplane flying in the air is balanced by:

  • A
    Vertical component of the thrust created by air currents striking the lower surface of the wings
  • B
    Force due to reaction of gases ejected by the revolving propeller
  • C
    Upthrust of the air which will be equal to the weight of the air having the same volume as the plane
  • D
    Force due to the pressure difference between the upper and lower surfaces of the wings created by different air speeds on the surfaces

Bernoulli's principle does not explain which of the following phenomena?

The speeds of air above and below the wing of an airplane are $120\, m/s$ and $90\, m/s$,respectively. The density of air is $1.3\, kg/m^3$. If the wing has a length of $10\, m$ and a width of $2\, m$,the pressure difference between the top and bottom of the wing is ......... $Pascal$.

Water flows steadily through a horizontal pipe of variable cross-section. If the pressure of water is $P$ at a point where flow speed is $v$,the pressure at another point where the flow speed is $2v$,is (Take density of water as $\rho$)

$A$ fully loaded Boeing aircraft has a mass of $5.4 \times 10^5 \, kg$. Its total wing area is $500 \, m^2$. It is in level flight with a speed of $1080 \, km/h$. If the density of air $\rho$ is $1.2 \, kg/m^3$,the fractional increase in the speed of the air on the upper surface of the wing relative to the lower surface in percentage will be $(g = 10 \, m/s^2)$.

Water from a tap emerges vertically downwards with an initial velocity of $4 \,m/s$. The cross-sectional area of the tap is $A$. The flow is steady and the pressure is constant throughout the stream of water. The distance $h$ vertically below the tap,where the cross-sectional area of the stream becomes $\frac{2}{3} A$,is (take $g = 10 \,m/s^2$): (in $\,m$)
