Wind stress is calculated using formula
C (drag coefficient) x density of air x square of wind speed
Hence wind stress is directly proportional to the square of wind speed.
Hence if wind speed increases by 2, the wind stress will increase by 4.
drag coefficient (Ca) is dimensionless and does not have any units
I hope the answer is clear to you, in case you have any query, please feel free to ask, we will try our best to solve it. If you are satisfied with the answer, please give a thumbs up, your support is valuable. Thank You
in the formula for wind stress, how would you expect the value of drag coefficient Ca...
The drag coefficient of a car is to be determined experimentally with a full scaleWind tunnel test in a large wind tunnel. The wind speed is60 mih 00 km/h (60 mi/h) and the drag force measured on a scale as shown in the adjacent drawing is 302 N (68 lbf). The frontal area of the car is 2.068 m2 (22.26 ft2) Neglect any ground effect due to the floor not moving relative to the car (a) Calculate the drag coefficient...
What is the maximum output you would expect from a wind turbine with a blade diameter of 20 ft in a 15-mph wind?
How would you expect these structures to differ in species that are pollinated by wind versus bumblebees? Check all that apply. Sepals are often lacking in wind pollinated species. Sepals tend to be broad and flat and colored purple, blue, or yellow in bee pollinated species. Petals tend to be broad and flat and colored purple, blue, or yellow in wind pollinated species. Petals are often lacking in wind-pollinated species. In wind- and bee-pollinated flowers, sepals probably do not vary...
A Toyota Prius has the following attributes: Drag Coefficient Ca = 0.24, Frontal Area Af = 25.83 ft?, weight = 3064 lb, and Speed = 90 mph. Use air density p = 0.002378 slugs/ft3. The vehicle from problem 2 above is travelling down a 4% grade on pavement located at 5000-ft altitude (p = 0.002045 slugs/ft?) with its maximum speed. Overall resistance for the motion of the car at maximum speed is overcome with a power of 28hp. Determine the...
Problem 2. A sailboat and the drag force The force exerted by the wind on a suilboat is approximately perpendicular to proportional to the component of the wind velocity perpendicular to the sail. For the 800-kg 25 points) sailboat shown in Figure 2, the force exerted by the wind on the sailbost is F--(550m .) where twind, is the component of the wind velocity perpendicular a force along the keel (bottom) of the boat that prevents it from moving sideways....
In a wind tunnel which includes the effects of a moving road, we measure a drag force at a wind speed of 200 km/h on a 1/5th scale model of a car to be [X] N ● What is the drag force on the full-scale vehicle operating at 100 km/h? ● Given that power = velocity X force, if we neglect tire rolling resistance, how much engine power is needed to overcome the drag in the full vehicle at 100...

Tgete are 4 isomeric alcohols with formula C4H10O. How would you expect the isomers to react with acidic sodium dichromate? With Lucas reagent?
Assume that the coefficient of drag of a cyclist is 1.2 when sitting upright and 0.9 when bent over the bars. Furthermore, assume that cyclist has a projected area of 0.6 m when upright and 0.3 m when bent over. The cyclist has an initial velocity of 7 m/s. Consider independent cases, wind blowing from the back and front at 15 m/s. When the wind blows from the back the cyclist sits upright to act as a sail. When the...
