The primary force an airfoil has to defeat is
- A.
Lift
- B.
Drag
- C.
Thrust
- D.
Weight
Correct Answer
D. WeightExplanation
The primary force an airfoil has to defeat is weight. Weight is the force exerted by gravity on an object and acts vertically downward. In order for an airfoil to generate lift and overcome the force of weight, it must create a pressure difference between the upper and lower surfaces of the wing. This pressure difference creates an upward force, known as lift, which counteracts the weight of the aircraft. Drag and thrust are also important forces in aviation, but they are not the primary force that an airfoil has to defeat.Rate this question:

The stress that resists the force tending to cause one layer of material to slide over an adjacent layer is called
- A.
Bending
- B.
Tension
- C.
Torsion
- D.
Shear
Correct Answer
D. ShearExplanation
Shear stress is the correct answer because it refers to the stress that resists the force that tends to cause one layer of material to slide over an adjacent layer. Shear stress occurs when two layers of material are parallel to each other and are subjected to forces in opposite directions. This causes the layers to slide past each other, and shear stress resists this sliding motion. Bending, tension, and torsion are different types of stresses that occur in different situations and are not directly related to the resistance of sliding layers.Rate this question:

The purpose of wing flaps is to
- A.
Increase lift and drag
- B.
Decrease lift and drag
- C.
Increase lift and decrease drag
- D.
Decrease lift and increase drag
Correct Answer
A. Increase lift and dragExplanation
Wing flaps are movable surfaces on the trailing edge of an aircraft's wings. They are used to increase lift and drag during certain phases of flight. By extending the flaps, the curvature of the wing increases, generating more lift. This is particularly useful during takeoff and landing when the aircraft needs more lift at lower speeds. However, the increased curvature also creates more drag, which helps to slow down the aircraft. Therefore, the purpose of wing flaps is to increase both lift and drag.Rate this question:

C. Creating resistance and loss of energyExplanation
Turbulence in a hydraulic line creates resistance and loss of energy. When fluid flows through a hydraulic line, turbulence occurs when there is a disruption in the smooth flow of the fluid. This disruption causes the fluid to move in an irregular and chaotic manner, resulting in increased resistance to flow. As a result, energy is lost in overcoming this resistance, leading to a decrease in the overall efficiency of the hydraulic system.Rate this question:

Venturi.
Correct Answer
D. Venturi.Explanation
A tube whose cross-section area is gradually reduced to a smaller size diameter is called a venturi. This type of tube is commonly used in fluid mechanics to create a pressure difference, which allows for the measurement of flow rate or the mixing of fluids. The gradual reduction in diameter causes the fluid velocity to increase, resulting in a decrease in pressure according to Bernoulli's principle. The venturi effect is utilized in various applications, such as in carburetors, air conditioning systems, and medical devices.Rate this question:
