Re: Aerodynamics Question for class
Hey Jace, I noticed no one addressed the third question for you, so I figured I'd give you a hand with it.
Set weight equal to lift and use the lift equation.
W=L=1/2CL*S*rho*Vs^2. You already know Vs^2 and the max gross weight (4000lbs.), so solve for that whole mess in between (1/2 *CL*S*rho=.8650519).
Then go back with that information and use a new weight (4000lbs *2.4 g's)= 9600lbs.
Put that back into the lift equation and use the 1/2 CL S rho that you just solved for and then solve for the new Vs.
9600=.8650519Vs^2.
Vs=Sqrt (9600/.8650519)=105.345
Oops. Edited the final formula.

Reason: Mistaken formula.
