An aeroplane of mass \(4.5 \times 10^4 \mathrm{~kg}\) and total wing area of \(600 \mathrm{~m}^2\) is travelling at a constant height. The pressure difference between the upper and lower surfaces of its wings is
(Acceleration due to gravity \(=10 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-2}\) )

  1. A \(500 \mathrm{~N} \mathrm{~m}^{-2}\)
  2. B \(825 \mathrm{~N} \mathrm{~m}^{-2}\)
  3. C \(600 \mathrm{~N} \mathrm{~m}^{-2}\)
  4. D \(750 \mathrm{~N} \mathrm{~m}^{-2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(750 \mathrm{~N} \mathrm{~m}^{-2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\Delta P = \frac{mg}{A}\) \(\Delta P = \frac{4.5 \times 10^4 \mathrm{~kg} \times 10 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-2}}{600 \mathrm{~m}^2}\) \(\Delta P = 750 \mathrm{~N} \mathrm{~m}^{-2}\)
