Question

A slowly increasing wind blowing over a flat test surface lifts the unsecured surface when the wind reaches 180 km/hr. Estimate the weight of the surface if it is 6.2 m by 12.4 m.

Answer 1

Given:

Velocity of wind,

Area of the flat surface,

============

Use Bernoulli's principle

Pressure difference,

==========

Pressure = Force/Area

Here the force is the weight of the flat slab
