A good rule of thumb is to design the horizontal stabilizer so that its area is about 1/6 to 1/8 of the area of the wing. If the area of the wing is 101.25 cm2, which of the following would be a good horizontal stabilizer design?
Answer choices:
Stabilizer with area = 32 cm2.
Stabilizer with area = 20 cm2.
Stabilizer with area = 14 cm2.
Stabilizer with area = 11 cm2.

Stabilizer with area = 14 cm².

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the wing = 101.25 cm²

Rule of the thumb is that area of stabilizer must be about 1/6 to 1/8 of the area of wing. So, first we calculate 1/6 of the area of the wing and 1/8 of the area of the wing. Area of stabilizer must be in between these two numbers.

1/6 of the area of wing =

1/8 of the area of wing =

This means, the area of horizontal stabilizer must be in between 12.656 cm² and 16.875 cm². From the given options only one option lies in between these two numbers and that is 14 cm²

Therefore, area of a good stabilizer design from the given options would be 14 cm²

54 km / hours

step-by-step explanation:

we need to convert seconds to hours

60 seconds = 1 minutes

60 minutes = 1hour

15 m         60 second   60 minutes

  * *         = 54000 meters/ hour

second     1 minute             1 hour

now we need to convert meters to km

1000 m = 1 km

54000 m       1 km

*   = 54 km / hours

hour               1000m
