Which of the following is correct for a typical glider?

A)
Drag D = W*cos (gamma)
B)
Drag D = W
C)
Drag D = Thrust T
D)
Drag D = W*arcsine (gamma)

Correct Answer :   Drag D = W*cos (gamma)


Explanation : Above equation is used to provide information about drag of atypical glider. Drag can be given by, Drag D = W*cos (gamma) where, D is drag, W is weight of the glider and gamma is the glide angle.
