An aircraft (m\=4.5×105kg, wing area 600m2) flies level. What is the pressure difference across the wings? (Take g\=9.8m

ΔP⋅A = mg. mg = 4.5×105×9.8 = 4.41×106N, A = 600m2. ΔP = 4.41×106600 = 7350Pa. As per NCERT, applying relevant law/formula with correct units and sign convention leads to 7350 Pa. This satisfies dimensional consistency and physical conditions given, so option C is scientifically correct.

An aircraft (m\=4.0×105kg, wing area 600m2) flies level. What is the pressure difference across the wings? (Take g\=9.8m

ΔP⋅A = mg. mg = 4.0×105×9.8 = 3.92×106N, A = 600m2. ΔP = 3.92×106600 = 6533.33Pa≈6533Pa. As per NCERT, applying relevant law/formula with correct units and sign convention leads to 6533 Pa. This satisfies dimensional consistency and physical conditions given, so option C is scientifically correct.

An aircraft (m\=2.5×105kg, wing area 400m2) flies at 900km/h. What is the pressure difference across the wings? (Take g\

ΔP⋅A = mg, mg = 2.5×105×10 = 2.5×106N. A = 400m2. ΔP = 2.5×106400 = 6250Pa. As per NCERT, applying relevant law/formula with correct units and sign convention leads to 6250 Pa. This satisfies dimensional consistency and physical conditions given, so option B is scientifically correct.

An aircraft (m\=2.5×105kg, wing area 500m2) flies level. What is the pressure difference across the wings? (Take g\=9.8m

ΔP⋅A = mg. mg = 2.5×105×9.8 = 2.45×106N, A = 500m2. ΔP = 2.45×106500 = 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.
