Use MATLAB to determine the intersection point for the sets of equations shown below. Use the backslash when possible.Graph the equations with different colors, and plot the intersection point with a red star marker. If the equations do not intersect, graph them anyway.
Include a legend:
a) -4x1 + 2x2 = 10 b)-4x1+2x2^3 = 10
x1 + x2 = -8 x1+ x2 = -8

1. Aerodynamics :
(a) how to find zero lift line of a wing and airfoil?
(b) how do we relate this with climb angle(gamma), pitch angle(theta), angle of incidence, and Angle of Attack(Alpha)
(c) why during climb Theta is not considered as Angle of attack since the aircraft moves with respect to x-axis? or is that with respect to thrust direction?
(d) then can we classify Angle of Attack to be similar with Angle of Incidence if the aircraft flies along the direction of thrust?
2. Flight Mechanics :
a) what is the differences between stick-fixed and stick-free? (including explanation on each)
b) consider that the aircraft flies in autopilot mode, is that considered as stick-fixed,free, or neither?
c) Consider Horizontal stabiliser on conventional aircraft, how to find these variables? given
C_LT = 2*phi*Alpha_Teffective + a2(eta) +a3(beta), ; C_LT is known, Aileron hinge location x1/c = 0.65 and Trim Tab hinge at x2/c = 0.8
C_H = b1*Alpha_Teffective + b2(eta) + a2(beta), ;beta = Trim tab deflection angle; eta = Elevator deflection angle

Consider a pipe (diameter of 50 mm) with air flowing through it.
The inlet conditions are: Mach 3; total pressure = 1000 kPa and 550
K. The friction coefficient (f) is 0.004. The exit Mach number
decreases with the length of the pipe. Assume adiabatic, steady
flow.
Write a short Matlab code and plot the following,
while the exit Mach number changes from 2.5 to 0.99 with increments
of ?M=0.01. Find the length of the pipe that is going to give the
desired exit Mach number. Find the pipe exit pressure, pipe exit
temperature, and pipe exit total pressure.

How much energy does it require to keep the ice steady at -8 degrees celsius continuously?
We have an ice rink and these are the values:
- indoor climate has a constant temperature of +10 degree celsius
- It took 17669880 KJ to cool it down from +10 celcius to -8 celcius.
- Dimensions 60m length x 30m width x 2.5cm thickness, which is 45 cubic meter of ice
How much energy is needed to keep the rink cooled down at -8 degrees per hour?
