There is no acceleration toward the center of the Earth. c. The force toward the center of the Earth is balanced by a force away from the center of the Earth. d. The satellite is in a state of free fall toward the Earth. e. There is no gravitational force on the satellite.

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.
