This question is regarding the weight shift equation. You may use your iPad for this question to reference the POH if you choose to do so. Assume your takeoff weight is: 2266.20 lbs and your takeoff CG is: 88.51. You decide to bring with you an observer that weighs 160 lbs (rear seat). Use the appropriate weight shift equation and recalculate the new takeoff weight and balance. What is the new takeoff weight? What is the new CG?

Use the following information then provide your answers to the following questions. You may use your iPad and reference the appropriate pages in the POH for this question. You are flying the UND Piper Archer. Cruise Altitude: 5500ft Temperature at Cruise Altitude: 14°C Power setting: 75% What is the appropriate RPM setting? What is the calculated TAS?

Researchers discovered that a new strain of bacteria that causes tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) has a point mutation in the rpoB gene that codes for part of the RNA polymerase enzyme. This mutant form of RNA polymerase does not function as well as the more common form of RNA polymerase. A commonly used antibiotic called rifampin does not affect the mutant rpoB bacteria.A researcher mixes M. tuberculosis with and without the rpoB mutation and adds the bacteria to cell cultures. Half the cell cultures contain only standard nutrients, while the other half of the cell cultures contain rifampin and the standard nutrients. After many cell generations, you might expect the researcher to find________.

Over long periods of time, many cave-dwelling organisms have lost their eyes. Tapeworms have lost their digestive systems. Whales have lost their hind limbs. How can natural selection account for these losses?    

In a small population of alpine foxes, you observe increased ear length over a 10-year period. Can you definitively conclude that increase in ear length is advantageous in this population?
