Solution

(A) It is always possible to find a ramp setting RAMPθ such that the shock still meets the cowl lip (SHOCKβ remains the same). (B) If RAMPθ is held fixed, the shock angle SHOCKβ will increase. (C) If M exceeds a critical value, it would NOT be possible to find a ramp setting RAMPθ such that the shock still meets the cowl lip (SHOCKβ remains the same). (D) Shock angle sin(SHOCKβ) < (1/M)
