Ice formation on a propeller blade will?

produce unbalance and vibration
increase thrust and drag
cause a change in blade angle
decrease the noise level

The correct answer is: produce unbalance and vibration

When ice forms on a propeller blade, it adds weight to one side of the blade, causing the blade to become unbalanced and vibrate. This can result in a decrease in efficiency and can even cause damage to the propeller or engine. Option B and D are incorrect because ice formation would not increase thrust or decrease noise level. Option C is incorrect because ice formation would not cause a change in the blade angle.
