Speed of air over the lower wing, $V_{1}=180 km / h =50 m / s$
Speed of air over the upper wing, $V_{2}=234 km / h =65 m / s$
Density of air, $\rho=1 kg m ^{-3}$
Pressure of air over the lower wing $=P_{1}$
Pressure of air over the upper wing $=P_{2}$
The upward force on the plane can be obtained using Bernoulli's equation as:
$P_{1}+\frac{1}{2} \rho V_{1}^{2}=P_{2}+\frac{1}{2} \rho V_{2}^{2}$
$P_{1}-P_{2}=\frac{1}{2} \rho\left(V_{2}^{2}-V_{1}^{2}\right)$
The upward force ($F$) on the plane can be calculated as:
$\left(P_{1}-P_{2}\right) A$
$=\frac{1}{2} \rho\left(V_{2}^{2}-V_{1}^{2}\right) A$
$=\frac{1}{2} \times 1 \times\left((65)^{2}-(50)^{2}\right) \times 50$
$=43125 N$
Using Newton's force equation, we can obtain the mass $(m)$ of the plane as:
$F=m g$
$\therefore m=\frac{43125}{9.8}$
$=4400.51 kg$
$\sim 4400 kg$
Hence, the mass of the plane is about $4400\; kg$.
