Aerodynamics engineers obtain the lift and pressure drag by integrating the ___________ distribution over a surface.

a) Velocity
b) Pressure
c) Temperature
d) Viscosity

Answer: b
Explanation: Lift force can be obtained by the difference in pressure between the top and bottom surfaces of a body. Similarly, the pressure drag of a body can be obtained by finding the pressure difference between the front and back halves of a body. Both of these quantities depend upon the pressure distribution.
