Consider a rod placed vertically into the ground with exactly one meter above the ground sticking up. assume you are someplace like bonneville, ut (famous for auto racing) where the earth will be assumed perfectly level and smooth without hills or valleys or trees to worry about. how far must the stick be from you so that it becomes invisible from a vantage point of being on the ground (face or eyeball at ground level as if you're an ant)? consider the curvature of the earth in this case. earth's radius is 6.37 * 10^6 m. do the calculation again for an eyeball height of 1.5m above the ground.

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.

Electric field of the earth. the earth has a net electric charge that causes a field at points near its surface equal to 150 n> c and directed in toward the center of the earth. (a) what magnitude and sign of charge would a 60-kg human have to acquire to overcome his or her weight by the force exerted by the earth’s electric field? (b) what would be the force of repulsion between two people each with the charge calculated in part (a) and separated by a distance of 100 m? is use of the earth’s electric field a feasible means of flight? why or why not?
