According to Bernoulli's equation $\frac{P}{\rho g} + h + \frac{v^2}{2g} = \text{constant}$,the terms $\frac{P}{\rho g}$,$h$,and $\frac{v^2}{2g}$ are generally called respectively:

  • A
    Gravitational head,pressure head,and velocity head
  • B
    Gravity,gravitational head,and velocity head
  • C
    Pressure head,gravitational head,and velocity head
  • D

Air is streaming past a horizontal aeroplane wing such that its speed is $120\, m/s$ over the upper surface and $90\, m/s$ at the lower surface. If the density of air is $1.3\, kg/m^3$ and the wing is $10\, m$ long and has an average width of $2\, m$,then the difference of the pressure on the two sides of the wing is ........ $N/m^2$.
