- Explain the mechanism of drag and lift force generation for the wing using Newton's law. Here are the hints : If the wing does not exist, the velocity distribution is uniform at v=U_inf. Therefore, the x-directional velocity of the air is deceralated by the wing. This implies that the wing applied a force in the -x-direction to the air (Newton's second law). In other words, the air flow applied a force in the x-direction to the wing (Newton's third law). This is the mechanism of drag generation.arrow_forwardQuestion 2 Air at 20 °C flows at V = 10 m/s over a flat plate of length L= 1.52 m and width W = 2 m.
