Question

[5 pts] In 2021, Formula 1 introduced a new set of rules, to make the racing more competitive. With new rules,F1 cars will have much simpler front and rear wings,

which allow a dramatic reduction of the car's wake,depicted in the figure below as "dirty air". However, to obtain same amount of the downforce, now F1 cars are allowed to employ a series of Venturi tunnels underneath the car. Drive an expression for the downforce produced by these Venturi tubes from Bernoulli's Equation by using the geometric information given. The width if the car can be taken as 1.5 m. Plot the down force as a function of velocity of the F1 car.
