Mach number increases and temperature, pressure and density decreases across
wave.

Sol. A
A plain trailing edge flap mainly increases the effective camber of the airfoil when
deflected downwards.
Contact- 9740501604
Due to decreasing local radius of curvature, local centrifugal force increases and in
result of local pressure increase upward in normal direction down to the airfoil.
