how a sail works, who can help me explain?
"Simple Simon" wrote in message
The convex side of the sail or the leeward side directs the air over a longer path. This longer path for the air lowers the pressure because said air must move faster to cover the increased cord. Shouldn't that be "chord"? -- Wally I demand rigidly-defined areas of uncertainty! www.art-gallery.myby.co.uk |
