Question

An aircraft (m\=2.0×105kg, wing area 400m2) flies level. What is the pressure difference across the wings? (Take g\=9.8m/s2)

Options

Choose one · Correct answer highlighted

Explanation

ΔP⋅A = mg. mg = 2.0×105×9.8 = 1.96×106N, A = 400m2. ΔP = 1.96×106400 = 4900Pa. As per NCERT, applying relevant law/formula with correct units and sign convention leads to 4900 Pa. This satisfies dimensional consistency and physical conditions given, so option C is scientifically correct.
