Question: 6 . ( 2 0 % ) Attach a straw to a cardboard disk with a hole at center using tape or glue, and fold

6.(20%) Attach a straw to a cardboard disk with a hole at center using tape or glue, and fold the corners of a piece paper upward so that the paper cups the cardboard disk with radius R as below. Attempt to lift the folded paper off a flat surface by blowing air or sucking air through the straw. This is same as the mechanism to lift the computer chips without touching it.
(a)(5%) Determine if the blowing or suction is more effective in lifting the paper.
(b)(15%) As shown in the picture below, the pressure below the paper is atmosphere pressure pr, and the pressure above the paper can be estimated by Bermoulli equation. Please determine the lifting force of the paper within the range of the cardboard with Radius R, gap h, and volume flow rate Q from the straw (Hint: when you solve your integration, please ignore the contributions as r
