  1. Question 1

    Q1. What is the primary cause of the lift force experienced by an airplane wing?

    • A) Wing shape deflecting air downward
    • B) Wing angle creating turbulence
    • C) Air viscosity
    • D) Air density

    Answer: Wing shape deflecting air downward

    Explanation: The shape of the wing deflects air downward, creating an upward lift force according to Newton's third law. Option B is incorrect as turbulence is not the primary cause.
