Question: 2 ) [ 1 5 points ] A symmetric airfoil of span 1 m and cherd 0 . 6 m is hinged at its mid

2)[15 points] A symmetric airfoil of span 1 m and cherd 0.6 m is hinged at its mid chord and supported by a translational spring of constant \( K_{1}=500\mathrm{~N}/\mathrm{mat}\) the leading-edge and a translational springs of constant \( K_{2}=1000\mathrm{~N}/\mathrm{m}\) at 0.2 m from the leading edge. The aerodynamic center is located at the quarter chord point.
a) Assume small deflection in the pitch direction \(\theta \), about the hinge point, and draw the free body diagram of the airfoil including the aerodynamic loads.
b) Start from the Newton's second Law and write the airfoil's static aeroelastic equation in pitch direction about the hinge point. Assume small angles and ignore aerodynamic drag effects.
c) Find an equation for the pitch angle \(\theta \) as function of dynamic pressure.
d) Calculate the divergence dynamic pressure using the equation obtained in part c.
e) Assume a trailing edge flap of size 0.2 m for the original model and calculate its aileron reversal dynamic pressure (airfoil chord is still 0.6 m ). Use the thin airfoil theory equations for \( C_{L_{\beta}}\) and \( C_{M_{\beta}}\), and assume incompressible flow.
