Sir,

Could you kindly recheck the answer for Assignment 11? The first one should be 0.0592. The other questions, the answer i have given is barely 0.1 less than the range answer. If anyone has this same issue, kindly follow up here.

They should use Calculators once in a while, all other answers depend on the first answer. Every year the same thing happens with me in every Aerospace course that I take, sometimes the data is missing or unclear or their answers seem to be absurdly out of range, and most of the time its these calculation errors from their side. The answer should be 0.059 and they have written as 0.033. Unacceptable!!!!

Thank so you much dude, this is so true. Mentors kindly look into this. The answers are wrong in the solution.

I've noticed an error in the calculations. The number used for converting horsepower to watts is 746, but a more precise figure is 745.7, which I have also utilized. Due to this discrepancy, some of our answers fall outside the specified range. Therefore, I request the mentors to consider including answers that correspond to this conversion figure within the range.

It’s not the Horsepower alone. The answer 0.33 itself is wrong in the solution. I am trying out every single way to get that value but I end up with either 0.58 or 0.60, nothing less

Also, due to this error, the W(takeoff) they have calculated is wrong, which in turn, is giving the wrong answer to question no. 4 also. Please confirm if I am wrong, but the answer should come around 0.89 for this question.

Dear Candidate,
                             Yes, You are correct, the answer of the first question is 0.059 (out of the given range).  Due to this the question number 4 is also coming out of the range. Rest all in the range provided. For verification please find the attached file.
We will give the reevaluation request for the same.

Thank you.

Respected sir,
I think the answer range of question no. 4 in assignment 11 has not been updated properly, as I have given my response as 0.8917 (I have answered with 4 decimal digits for the sake of accuracy), but the range stops at 0.89. So, I request you to kindly recheck if the answer range has to be extended or not.
Thanks.
