4. An elliptic cylinder of aspect ratio 4 with major axis along the y-axis is located in
a uniform rectilinear flow parallel to the x-axis. Find the pressure coefficient at the
extreme points of the ellipse on the y-axis.

5. An ellipse with an aspect ratio (major axis/minor axis) of 3 is situated in a uniform

rectilinear flow of 1 m/s with its major axis at an angle of 10º to the flow. Determine
the magnitude of the flow velocity, in m/s, at both ends of the ellipse.
