Getting a Little "Lift"
out of Calculus
Part II: Activity

Problem 1:

  1. Looking at the plots in these three problems, predict which airfoil will have the greatest lift force.



  2. Find the lift generated by an airfoil given a pressure vs. area plot using one of the techniques developed in Part I of this series. All work must be shown in order to justify your answer.



  3. Include a statement explaining your reason for using the method you chose for each problem.



  4. How well did your results agree with your predictions?
