Answer:

L/D= 112

Explanation:

Aerodynamics can be defined as the branch of dynamics which deals with the motion of air, their properties and the interaction between the air and solid bodies.

Aerodynamics law explains how an airplane is able to fly. There are four forces of flight, and they are; lift, weight, thrust and drag. The amount of lift generated by a wing divided by the aerodynamic drag is known as the lift to drag ratio.

Lift increases proportionally to the square of the speed.

The solutions to the question is the file attached to this explanation.

Lift,L= qC(l). S---------------------------(1).

and,

Drag,D = qC(d).S ----------------------(2).

Hence, Lift to drag ratio,L/D= C(l)/C(d).

Therefore, we have to compute various angle of attack.(check attached file)...

Then, (L/D) will then be equal to 112.

Vesnalui [34]

We anticipate a constant Poynting vector of magnitude since the hot resistor will be emitting heat and none of the electric or magnetic fields will change over time.

S = P/A

= I2R/ 2πrL

= 332 kW/m2

<h3>What is the Poynting vector?</h3>

Describes the size and direction of the energy flow in electromagnetic waves using a Poynting vector. It bears the name of the 1884 invention of English physicist John Henry Poynting. It stands for the electromagnetic field's directional energy flux or power flow. The Poynting vector is significant in a static electromagnetic field because it determines the direction of energy flow in an electromagnetic field. This vector represents the radiation pressure of an electromagnetic wave and points in its direction of propagation.
