Which of the following does not hold for the zero-lift angle of attack?(a) It is a negative value(b) Denoted by αL=0(c) It is zero for a symmetric airfoil(d) Does not depend on the slope of the camber lineI have been asked this question by my school principal while I was bunking the class.Asked question is from The Cambered Airfoil topic in portion Incompressible Flow over Airfoils of Aerodynamics

Answer» RIGHT option is (d) Does not depend on the slope of the camber LINE

For explanation I would say: The zero lift angle of attack is the value of angle of attack where the lift is zero. It is a NEGATIVE QUANTITY and depends on the shape of the airfoil (slope of the camber line). It is zero for a symmetric airfoil.
