An airplane of mass 8000 kg has a wing area of 400 m2. The speed of air ow is 100 m/sover the top of the wing and 70 m/sbelow the bottom of the wing. Assume the
density of air varies with height as Rho =Rho0*exp(-z/8000m) with Rho0 = 1.3 kg/m^3. (a) What
is the lift force on the airplane at low altitude? (b) How much load could be carried if

What form of Bernoulli's principle have you been given to use with this problem?
