There is an airfoil with a 3ft chord length for a small remote controlled aircraft. The lift coefficient is C = 0.59 and the pitching moment coefficient at a quarter chord length is Cm,c/4 = -0.032 for a landing spped of 45 ft/s at sea-level std conditions

a) Calculate the lift per unit span (in lbf/ft)

b) Calculate the moment about the quarter chord position per unit span

c) Calculate the moment about the leading edge per unit span

A new two-dimensional airfoil constant chord model is being tested in a wind tunnel. The model chord is 3ft. The atmosphere is standard. The velocity of the airflow is 250 ft/s. The forces are resolved as 150lb of perpendicular to the relative wind and 10lb parallel to the relative wind. Find the dynamic pressure and the section coefficient of lift (cl) and the section coefficient of drag (cd).
