A wing-body alone configuration airplane with a wing loading of W/S = 1000 N/m2 is flying in cruise condition at a speed V = 90 m/s at sea-level (air density at sea-level ρ = 1.22 kg/m3). The zero lift pitching moment coefficient of the airplane is Cmacwb = Cm0 = –0.06 and the location of airplane aerodynamic center from the wing leading edge is Xac = 0.25c. Here c is the chord length.
Distance of center of gravity of the aircraft (XCG) from the wing leading edge is
A
0.447c
B
-0.547c
C
0.547c
D
-0.25c

Correct : c
