Electrical Engineering XYZ MCQs
The instrument used to measure the flow of air around aeroplane:
- Orifice
- Anemometer
- Nucleus
- Venturimeter
Correct answer: 2. Anemometer
Explanation: An anemometer is a device used to measure wind speed and is exactly what is used to measure the flow of air, particularly around objects subjected to wind, such as airplanes. It is the ideal instrument for this purpose as it provides direct readings of wind speed, which is critical in aeronautics for determining airspeed, wind conditions, etc.
