A whale comes to the surface to breathe and then dives at an angle 24 degrees to the horizontal surface of the water. The whale continues in a straight line 145 m. What are the horizontal and vertical components of the displacement of the whale?

The ratio of lift to drag l/d for a wing or airfoil is an important aerodynamic parameter, indeed, it is a direct measure of the aerodynamic efficiency of the wing. if a wing is pitched through a range of angle of attack, l/d first increases, then goes through a maximum, and then decreases. consider an infinite wing with an naca 2412 airfoil. estimate the maximum value of l/d. assume that the reynolds number is 9x10^6.
