Aspect Ratio of a wing is
the ratio of the wingspan to the average cord
The Law of Interaction states __________
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
The angle of attack of a wing is the angle between the wing's cord and the horizon
False
The Mean Camber Line
is a line drawn halfway between the upper and lower surface of an airfoil.
A moment is _________
created when a force is applied at some distance from an axis or fulcrum, producing rotation about that point
The General Gas Law sets the relationship between three properties of air: pressure (P), density (ρ), and temperature (T). It is expressed as an equation where R is a constant for any given gas. What is the correct expression of the General Gas Law.
ρ = P/RT
Which formula or equation describes the relationship between force (F), acceleration (a) and mass (m)?
F = ma
The center of gravity is the point at which __________
all weight is concentrated
The chord of an airfoil is defined as ___________
a measure of the wing along the chord line, from the leading edge to the trailing edge
