The experimental ground-effect machine has a total mass of 2.2 Mg . It pumps air at atmospheric pressure through the circular intake duct B of 1 m radius, and discharges horizontally below the skirt C of radius 3 m . For an intake velocity of
45(m)/(s)
, calculate the average air pressure
p
under the 6 m diameter machine. Density of air is
1.206k(g)/(m^(3))
Ans:
p=1034.68(N)/(m^(2))
