An Airbus A380-800 passanger airplane is cruising at constant altitude on a straight line with a constant speed. The total surface area of the two wings is 395 m2. The average speed of the air just below the wings is 259 m/s, and it is 288 m/s just above the surface of the wings.
What is the mass of the airplane? The average density of the air around the airplane is ρ^air = 1.21 kg/m^3.

Respuesta :

The mass of the airplane of area of two wings 395m², and the average speed of lower and upper surface of the wings are, 259 and 288m/s is 386.8×10^3 kg.

To find the answer, we need to know about the Bernoulli's principle.

How to find the mass of the airplane?

  • The Bernoulli's principle states that, the sum of pressure energy, kinetic energy and potential energy of an incompressible, non-viscous, fluid in streamlined flow is a constant.
  • It can be expressed as,

                   P+ [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] ρv²+ρgh=a constant.

Instead of ρ we take d as density.

  • We have given that,

                    [tex]A= 395 m^2\\v_l=295 m/s\\v_u=288m/s\\density=1.21kg/m^3[/tex]

  • We equate the principle for lower and upper surfaces of the wing like,

                     [tex]P_1+\frac{1}{2}v_1^2d+dgh_1=P_2+ \frac{1}{2}v_2^2d+dgh_2\\here\\h_1=h_2\\thus\\P_1-P_2=\frac{1}{2}d(v_2^2-v_1^2)\\P_1-P_2=\frac{1}{2}*1.21(288^2-259^2)=9597.12 atm\\[/tex]

  • Thus, the mass of the airplane from the above equation will be,

                       [tex]\frac{F}{A}=9597.12 atm\\\\ F=9597.12*395m^2=37.9*10^5 N\\\\mg=37.9*10^5 N\\\\m=\frac{37.9*10^5 N}{9.8}\\\\ m=386.8*10^3kg[/tex]

Thus, we can conclude that, the mass of the airplane is 386.8×10^3 kg.

The mass of an airplane with two wings that are 395m2 in size and average wing surface speeds of 259 and 288 m/s is 387x 10^3 kg.

We need to be aware of the Bernoulli principle in order to determine the solution.

How can I determine an airplane's mass?

  • According to the Bernoulli's principle, the total amount of pressure energy, kinetic energy, and potential energy in a streamlined flow of an incompressible, non-viscous fluid is constant.
  • It can be stated as follows:

                             P+ [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]dv²+dgh = constant.

We substitute d for to represent density.

  • We've done that,

                           [tex]v_1=259m/s\\v_2=288m/s\\A=395m^2\\d=1.21kg/m^3[/tex]

  • We compare the governing idea for the wing's bottom and upper surfaces to:

                            [tex]P_1+\frac{1}{2}dv_1^2+dgh= P_2+\frac{1}{2}dv_2^2+dgh\\\\P_1+\frac{1}{2}dv_1^2=P_2+\frac{1}{2}dv_2^2\\\\P_1-P_2=\frac{1}{2}d(v_2^2-v_1^2)\\\\P_1-P_2=9597 atm[/tex]

  • Consequently, using the aforementioned equation, the airplane's mass will be,

                        [tex]F/A= 9597 atm\\mg=9597*395 =38*10^5N\\m=\frac{38*10^5}{9.8} = 387*10^3kg[/tex]

Consequently, we can say that the mass of an airplane with two wings that are 395m2 in size and average wing surface speeds of 259 and 288 m/s is 387 x 10^3 kg.
