If you simply measure the circumference of its orbit (length of string multiplied by 6.282) and then the time it takes to complete a lap, you will find out its speed. This should be the same as the tangential speed if the tether breaks.

What is the most important part of an airplane?

The wing spar. The spar is the main structure of the wing that supports the load of the entire airplane. All the loads go through the wing into the wing spar and down to the center of it, which is called the "wing box". (You could call this the most important part,)An airplane may fly without its engines. It might be able to fly without its flight controls. But it can not fly if the wing spar breaks.

How do you calculate a occupancy rate of recreational facilities?

There are actually a few ways that you can calculate occupancy rate. You can have general unit occupancy, occupancy by square footage or economic occupancy. There is an article in the Storage Facilitator that breaks down each of these and tells you what percentage you should aim for. Check it out in the related links section.

What are attached to the wings on an airplane?
