Answer:
False.
Explanation:
Vanes are subject to longitudinal and circumferencial forces. These forces are of aerodynamic or hydrodynamic nature depending on the fluid. The longitudinal force is the drag force and the circumferential force is the lift force.
[tex]Fd = \frac{1}{2}*Cd*\rho*V^{2}*A[/tex]
[tex]Fl = \frac{1}{2}*Cl*\rho*V^{2}*A[/tex]
Where:
Fd: drag force
Fl: lift force
Cd: drag coefficient
Cl: lift coefficient
rho: density of the fluid
V: velocity of the fluid
A: cross section
The forces depend on the drag and lif coefficients, and these depend on the geometry of the body, in this case, a vane.
