    The document contains the solutions to three problems involving fluid mechanics calculations: 1) It calculates the center of pressure and aerodynamic center of an airfoil at various angles of attack using given equations for lift, drag and moment coefficients. 2) It computes absolute temperature, pressure, density and speed of sound for the standard atmosphere at an altitude of 35,000 meters using equations relating these properties with altitude. 3) Similar to problem 2, it calculates various atmospheric properties in English units at an altitude of 95,000 feet.

    Problem 1 An airfoil has section lift, drag, and quarter-chord moment coefficients
    given by the following equations:

    ! = 5.0 + 0.3 ! = 0.2 ! + 0.004 ! !/! = 0.04 0.01

    where is the angle of attack in the radians. Find the center of pressure and
    the aerodynamic center of the airfoil for angles of attack of -5, 0, 5 and 10
    degrees.
