A plane is in level flight at constant speed and each of its two wings has an area of \(40 \mathrm{~m}^2\). If the speed of the air is \(180 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}\) over the lower wing surface and \(252 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{h}\) over the upper wing surface, the mass of the plane is _______ \(\mathrm{kg}\). (Take air density to be \(1 \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~m}^{-3}\) and \(\mathrm{g}=10 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}\) )

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(9600\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{A}=80 \mathrm{~m}^2\)

Using Bernonlli equation

\(\mathrm{A}\left(\mathrm{P}_2-\mathrm{P}_1\right)=\frac{1}{2} \rho\left(\mathrm{V}_1^2-\mathrm{V}_2^2\right) \mathrm{A}\)

\(\mathrm{mg}=\frac{1}{2} \times 1\left(70^2-50^2\right) \times 80\)

\(\mathrm{mg}=40 \times 2400\)

\(\mathrm{~m}=9600 \mathrm{~kg}\)
