Question: Consider a rectangular wing mounted in a low - speed subsonic wind tunnel. The wing model completely spans the test section so that the flow

Consider a rectangular wing mounted in a low-speed subsonic wind tunnel. The wing model
completely spans the test section so that the flow sees essentially an infinite wing. If the wing has an
NACA 23012 aerofoil section and a chord of 0.3 m, a) calculate the lift, drag per unit span and the lift
to drag ratio when the airflow pressure, temperature, velocity and viscosity are l atm, 303 K,42 m/s,
and 1.82\times 105 respectively. The angle of attack is 8\deg . Cl=0.72 Cd=0.42
calculate the net skin-friction drag coefficient, the total skin-friction drag, and the total pressure drag
force on the wing
