Question: Research indicates that the power P required by a bird to maintain flight is given by the formula
Where v is the relative speed of the bird, w is its weight,
is the density of the air, and S and A are constants associated with the bird’s size and shape.
-
What speed will minimize the power? You may assume that v, w,
S, and A are all positive.
