The ratio of the lift force L to the drag force D for the simple airfoil is L/D = 10. If the lift force on a short section of the airfoil is 64 lb, compute the magnitude of the resultant force R and the angle θ which it makes with the horizontal.

Astring that is fixed at both ends has a length of 1.05 m. when the string vibrates at a frequency of 91.0 hz, a standing wave with five loops is formed. (a) what is the wavelength of the waves that travel on the string? (b) what is the speed of the waves? (c) what is the fundamental frequency of the string?

Air is held within a frictionless piston-cylinder container, which is oriented vertically. the mass of the piston is 0.45 kg and the cross-sectional area is 0.0030 m2. initially (state 1) the pressure of the gas is sufficient to support the weight of the piston as well as the force exerted by the atmospheric pressure ( 101.32 kpa). the volume occupied by the air within the cylinder in state 1 is 1.00 liter. one end of a spring (with spring constant k = 1000 n/m) is attached to the top of the piston, while the other end of the spring is attached to a stage that can move vertically. initially the spring is undeflected and therefore exerts no force. then the stage is then moved quasistatically downward a distance of 10.0 cm, at which point the system reaches state 2. the piston-cylinder is not insulated; rather it remains in diathermal contact with the surroundings, which are at a constant temperature of 300 k. what is the change of pressure within the container?
