The figure (not to scale) shows a control volume to estimate the forces on the airfoil with elliptic cross-section. Surfaces 2 and 3 are streamlines. Velocity profiles are measured at the upstream end (surface 1) and at the downstream end (surface 4) of the control volume. The drag coefficient for the airfoil is defined as
, where D is the drag force on the airfoil per unit span and
is the density of the air. The static pressure,
, is constant over the entire surface of the control volume. Assuming the flow to be incompressible, two-dimensional and steady, the
for the airfoil is ________ (rounded off to 3 decimal places).
