An aeroplane requires \( 30 \ \mathrm{N} \) of column force per g. Certification for its class demands between \( 12 \) and \( 55 \ \mathrm{N} \) per g. Fitting a bobweight that adds \( 20 \ \mathrm{N} \) per g gives

  • A.50 N per g, now non-compliant
  • B.10 N per g, now non-compliant
  • C.30 N per g, unchanged
  • D.50 N per g, still compliant

Answer: D

The bobweight adds directly to the force per g:

\[ 30 + 20 = 50 \ \mathrm{N/g} \]

which is inside the 12 to 55 band, so the aeroplane remains compliant, though with little margin at the heavy end. That narrow margin is itself a design finding: a smaller bobweight would leave more room for the variation with centre of gravity and configuration. A bobweight cannot reduce the force per g, so the third option has the sign wrong, and it certainly does not leave it unchanged.
