Gliding weight limit
Asked by maham237 @ in Mathematics viewed by 255 People
How is the area of a sail related to the weight of the pilot on a hang glider?
Answered by maham237 @
The correct answer is:
The larger the surface area of the sail, the heavier the pilot can be and safely use the glider.
Explanation:
A hang glider must be able to support the weight of the pilot. The air pushing up under the sail (wing) of the glider helps support the weight. The more sail (wing) that you have, the more air pushing up, and the more weight it can hold.
