NACA 2412 airfoil has a zero lift angle of -2.1 degrees and a lift curve slope of 2*pi (if the alpha is expressed in radians). The pitching moment coefficient at the quarter chord is -0.036. Compute the lift and pitching moment at the quarter chord at a 4-degree angle of attack if the freestream velocity is 50 feet/sec, and the chord is 2 feet. Assume sea level conditions.

Calculate the lift and drag coefficient for a flat plate at a 5-degree angle of attack in Mach 3 flow.
Determine the angle $\theta$ for connecting member $A$ to the plate so that the resultant force of $\mathbf{F}_{A}$ and $\mathbf{F}_{B}$ is directed horizontally to the right. Also, what is the magnitude of the resultant force?
