An €œair cushion€ vehicle is designed to traverse terrain while floating on a cushion of air. Air, supplied by a compressor, escapes through the clearing between the ground and the skirt of the vehicle. If the skirt has a rectangular shape 39 m, the vehicle mass is 8100 kg and the ground clearance is 3 cm, determine the airflow rate needed to maintain the cushion and the power given by the compressor to the air. Assume that the air speeds within the cushion are very low.
