Air of density 0.80 kg/m^3 flows over a plane's wing at 120.0 m/s and below the wing at 86.0 m/s. If the area of the wing is 90.0 m^2 what is the upward force (dynamic lift) on the plane's wing?

Lift on an Airplane. Air streams horizontally past a small airplane's wings such that the speed is 70.0 $\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$ over the top surface and 60.0 $\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$ past the bottom surface. If the plane has a wing area of 16.2 $\mathrm{m}^{2}$ on the top and on the bottom, what is the net vertical force that the air exerts on the airplane? The density of the air is 1.20 $\mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}$ .
For an airplane in flight, the average speed of the air relative to the plane is 310.2 m/s below the wings and 336.8 m/s above the wings (see the figure below). The bottom of each wing has a surface area of 33.2 m2. Calculate the lift on one wing, which is the net upward force of air on the wing. (Assume the density of air is 1.20 kg/m3)
