    Pressure coefficient is given as \[{C_p} = \frac{{p – {p_\infty }}}{{{q_\infty }}}\]Since \(p = {p_\infty }\) therefore \({C_p} = 0\).Also, \[{C_p} = 1 – 4{\sin ^2}\theta  = 0\]\[ \Rightarrow \sin \theta  =  \pm \frac{1}{2}\]\[ \Rightarrow \theta  = {30^ \circ },{150^ \circ },{210^ \circ },{330^ \circ }\]are the locations on the surface of cylinder.
