Question:

The German Zeppelins of World War I were dirigibles with the following typical characteristics: volume = 15,000 m3 and maximum diameter = 14.0 m. Consider a Zeppelin flying at a velocity of 30 m/s at a standard altitude of 1000 m (look up the corresponding density in any standard altitude table). The Zeppelin is at a small angle of attack such that its lift coefficient is 0.05 (based on the maximum cross-sectional area). The Zeppelin is flying in straight-and-level flight with no acceleration. Calculate the total weight of the Zeppelin.
