If distance between shoulder point and tangent point is much higher then, it will produce _________

flat C/S shape

circle shape only

circle with diameter as distance

circle of radius as distance between points

Correct Answer : flat C/S shape

Explanation : Selection of the shoulder point plays vital role in conic curve. If shoulder point is too far from tangent point it will result in flat c/s shape. Similarly, if it is too close it will generate non-flat curve.

If for a given fuselage S_top=10m², A_side=14m², L = 10m then, find the ratio of wetted area to the volume of fuselage.

3.42 per m

4.001

6.68 per m³

8.36 m

Correct Answer : Option (A) : 3.42 per m

Explaination : Given, S_top=10m², A_side=14m², L = 10m.
Now ratio of wetted area Aw and volume V is given by,
Aw/V = 2*L*(S_top + A_side) / (S_top*A_side)
Aw/V = 2*10*(10+14) / (10*14) = 20*24/140 = 3.42 per m.
