Determine the value of sink rate of glider which is operating with 4.2° of glide angle and has speed of 120m/s.(a) 8.78m/s(b) 9.8ms(c) 56.5ms(d) 8.7msThe question was posed to me at a job interview.My question is taken from Flight Mechanics topic in chapter Performance and Flight Mechanics of Aircraft Design

Answer»

The CORRECT option is (a) 8.78m/s

Easy EXPLANATION: Sink rate = SPEED*sine (GLIDE ANGLE) = 120*sine (4.2°) = 8.78m/s.
