Correct Answer: (ii) and (iv)

An aircraft with wing aft tail configuration has tail efficiency of 0.95 and tail volume ratio of horizontal tail is 0.7. Determine pitching moment coefficient slope for the tail. Given lift curve slope of tail is 4.2 per rad. Consider downwash derivative as 0.6.

A typical jet transport aircraft needs to be sized based on following parameters. Wing area S=50m2, MAC=5m. If tail volume coefficient of horizontal tail is 1 and tail area is 10m2 then, find the required tail moment arm.

Consider the following statements and choose the correct answer:
1. Hygroscopicity may be defined as the power of solids to adsorb water upon their surface
2. A finely divided soil holds less amount of water drawn from below than a soil with larger particles
3. Water held by capillary action is influenced by gravity
4. The gravitational water is that surplus of water which, after rain, gradually sinks downward, under the influence of gravity

Since the potential energy of an object depends on the acceleration due to gravity and since the acceleration due to gravity decreases as altitude increases, we can conclude that the potential energy of an object decreases as altitude increases.

Tresca or maximum-shear stress criteria assumes that yielding occurs when the maximum shear stress reaches a value of the shear stress in the uniaxial tension test. Assume the principal stress being σ1, σ2, σ3 where σ1 is largest, and σ3 is the smallest principal stresses. Find the value of minimum shear stress to cause yielding, given that yield stress in tension is equal to σo?

In the following sentence the word principal' occurs three times "The principal (1) aim of the principal (2) of the college was to help build new roads to link the area's principal (3)schools" Indicate the use(s) in which the meaning of the word “Principal is ‘chief or main',

Consider the following statements with reference to the periodic table of chemical elements.
1. Ionization potential gradually decreases along a period.
2. In a group of elements, electron affinity decreases as the atomic weight increases.
3. In a given period, electronegativity decreases as the atomic number increases.
Which of these statement(s) is/are correct?

When the tail-water depths in the river downstream of a spillway are quite low such that the tail-water curve at all discharges lies below the post jump depth curve, then the energy dissipation can be affected best by ___________________
