Question:

The experimental ground-effect machine has a total weight of 4200 lb. It hovers 1 or 2 ft off the ground by pumping air at atmospheric pressure through the circular intake duct at B and discharging it horizontally under the periphery of the skirt C. For an intake velocity v of 150 ft/sec, calculate the average air pressure p under the 18-ft-diameter machine at ground level. The specific weight of the air is 0.076 lb/ft3.
