Question: Consider a multi - celled wing cross - section with aerodynamic Lift and Moment acting at the quarter chord. The wing has nonstructural leading edge

Consider a multi-celled wing cross-section with aerodynamic Lift and Moment acting at the quarter chord. The wing has nonstructural leading edge and trailing edge (i.e., hashed area is nonstructural). The box-beam is composed of 6 stringers and connecting webs. The web sections all have a constant equivalent thickness.
a) Find the Centroid relative to the primed reference frame shown on the airfoil [5 points].
b) Find the Area moments of Inertia of the airfoil [5 points].
c) Write down the equations and process needed to find the shear center location relative to the primed reference frame shown on the airfoil [10 points].
d) Write down the equations and process needed to find the torsional stiffness of the wing [10 points].
e) Write down the equations and process needed to find the shear flow in each of the web sections as a function of the lift and moment [10 points].
