What is the correlation between the BTU of an air conditioner and the size of the area you wish to cool?

It depends on how many people and how many windows are in the home. As a rough rule of thumb, every 500sq ft needs 1 ton. In lower humidity areas, that can be dropped back some.
There is no correlation. The cooling capacity of the ac unit (btu) should be matched to the heat gain or load of the space to be cooled. Not by rules of thumb estimating load by size. Two spaces of equal size can certainly have differing loads, thus requiring different tonnage.

Why does your home air conditioner have cool air then stops and has no water dripping from it?

Which cools the air faster a ceiling fan or a air conditioner?
Air conditioner. A fan doesn't actually cool the air - it simply circulates it.
Why are air conditioners placed high on walls and not on the ground?
Because the cool air from the air conditioner is denser than the warm air in the room and sinks. Placed high up the cool air will have time to get further from the air conditioner before it settles to the floor, allowing it to cool more of the room. Placed on the floor the cool air will mostly pool around the air conditioner and very little of the room will be cooled. Some air conditioner are actually placed relatively low in a room, but they have fans and baffles that blow the cold air upwards to the ceiling resulting in the same effect as placing the air conditioner high (maybe even better as the fan blows the cool air not only up to the ceiling but across it, possibly covering a larger volume of the room than cool air falling passively from an air conditioner placed high but without fans).
