Calculation of Forces and Pressure (Kite 1)

Lift Force= .0627N
Thrust= .05244N
Force Gravity= .3724N
Force of Drag= .025N

Density of kite = .0408

g/cm^3

Static Pressure: .204 Pa

Dynamic Pressure: 39.99 Pa

Air Density = 1.161 kg/m^3

Total Pressure: 40.194 Pa
(.001161 g/cm^3)

Calculation of Forces and Pressure (Kite 2)

Lift Force= 1.014 N

Density of kite = .1214g/cm^3 Static Pressure: 14.27 Pa

Thrust= 1.74*10^-3 N

Air Density = 1.161 kg/m^3 (.

Conclusion
In the end we think that our kites did not work as well as we would have wanted
them to. I think if we could have made them lighter, and increased the surface
area of the kites, we think that the kites, in the end could have been much
better. From this project we learned how we apply Bernoullis and Archimedes
principle can be applied to real life.
