Beginner's Guide
to Aerodynamics Open the slide called Air Density and study the examples. Next, open the slide called Momentum Effects. Look at the very bottom of the page, noting how changes in density affect the lift. Note: For Density Problems, use the formula D=M/V For problems 1-4, use the mass and volume given to find the density of the column of air. (1) Mass = 10 kg & Volume = 8m3Density =_________ Now answer the following questions. (5) Looking at your answers above, which density will produce the greatest amount of lift?
