AEROFOIL
In a steady flow of fluid, the _ pressure __in the fluid is _decreases__ when the velocity
of the fluid is high and vice versa.
Figure below shows an __ aerofoil__ The upper region of the aerofoil has _ higher _ air
velocity than the lower region of the aerofoil.
By Bernoulli’s principle, the lower region has __higher ___ pressure than the upper
region of the aerofoil. This causes a __lifting force act____ on the aerofoil.

Reminder :
1. Bernoulli’s Principle is obeyed only for moving fluid .
2. Fluid will move from high pressure into the low pressure.
Water flows through a uniform tube
from _ higher __ pressure to a __lower __
pressure area. Fluid pressure decreases
linearly;
PA > PB > PC
VA < VB < VC
Therefore hA > hB > hC

Exercise
1. If the height of the fluid in tube L is h1,
and that is tube M is h2, which of the
following is true?
A. h1 > h2 because v1 > v2
B. h1 < h2 because v1 < v2
C. h1 > h2 because v1 < v2
D. h1 < h2 because v1 > v2
2. Aeroplane wingsact as aerofoils. What is the
funtion of an aerofoil?
A. To raise up the aeroplane.
B. To increase the speed of air flow at the surface
of wing.
C. To reduce the air resistance and the drag force.
Water flows through a non uniform tube,
the velocity of the fluid;
VB > VC > V A
VC is the highest because water is forces to
flow through a constriction at A, hence it
speed up.
Pressure of fluid;
PA > PC > PB
Therefore; hA > hC > hB
When the air is not flowing the pressure is
same at every point. When the air is
allowed to flow in, the velocity of the fluid;
VB > VC > V A
Because the cross-sectional area at B is the
smallest.
Pressure of fluid;
PA > PC > PB
Therefore; hB > hC > hA
Water flows around the ping pong ball at _ high__ speed
