(a) To calculate the lift coefficient at
, we can use the lift coefficient equation for a cambered airfoil:
where:
is the lift coefficient,
is the air density,
is the free stream velocity,
is the half-chord length,
is the chord length,
is the angle of attack, and
is the zero-lift angle of attack.Given:
Substituting the given values into the equation:
$C_L = \frac{2 \pi \times 1.2 \times
