Transcribed Image Text:

The wing of a Piper Arrow, whose span is 10 meters and average chord is 1.4 meters, can be approximated by a flat plate. Determine the skin friction drag on this wing at sea level if it is cruising at 67 m/s. Assume the flow over the wing is a combination of first laminar flow followed by turbulent flow, and transition occurs at a Reynolds number of 500,000. How much power in kilowatts is required to overcome the friction drag? μ = 1.7894(10)-5 kg/m/s. Solve the problem in the International system of units.
