Is lift is generated due to large pressure gradients on the upper side of the airfoil?

Correct Answer : Option (A) :   True

Explanation : The effect can also be exploited by devices such as aerodynamic spoilers on aircraft, which deliberately spoil the laminar flow to increase the drag and reduce the lift on the aircraft, which also used as a break to stop the aircraft

Correct Answer : Option (C) :   Smoking rises from cigarette

Explanation : Smoke rising from a cigarette is mostly turbulent flow. However, for the first few centimeters, the flow is laminar. The smoke plume becomes turbulent as its Reynolds number increases, due to its flow velocity and the characteristic length.

Correct Answer : Option (A) :   True

Explanation : At higher angles, very large adverse pressure gradients that develop on the upper side as the airfoil attempts to generate more lift causes the boundary layer to separate, leading to a major disruption of the flow over the airfoil and the wing stalls.
