Q1 Q is old ships have too many sails? Such imbecile questions are only seen since old might mean current but old ships; 2 ships in the olden days were just bigger than the navoys or boats. Sail is wrt the container space and weight bearing Vs wind speed to push across. But asking why appears to me as asking why mouth, eyes, ears etc. A *sail* is a tensile structure <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensile_structure>—which is made from fabric or other membrane materials—that uses wind power to propel sailing craft, including sailing ships <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sailing_ship>, sailboats <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sailboat>, windsurfers <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windsurfing>, ice boats <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_boat>, and even sail-powered land vehicles <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_sailing>. Sails may be made from a combination of woven materials—including canvas or polyester cloth, laminated membranes or bonded filaments—usually in a three- or four-sided shape.A sail provides propulsive force via a combination of lift and drag, depending on its angle of attack <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle_of_attack>—its angle with respect to the apparent wind <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apparent_wind>. Apparent wind is the air velocity experienced on the moving craft and is the combined effect of the true wind velocity with the velocity of the sailing craft. Angle of attack is often constrained by the sailing craft's orientation to the wind or point of sail <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_of_sail>. Aerodynamic forces on sails depend on wind speed and direction and the speed and direction of the craft. The direction that the craft is traveling with respect to the *true wind* (the wind direction and speed over the surface) is called the "point of sail". The speed of the craft at a given point of sail contributes to the apparent wind (*VA*)—the wind speed and direction as measured on the moving craft. The apparent wind on the sail creates a total aerodynamic force, which may be resolved into *drag*—the force component in the direction of the apparent wind—and *lift*—the force component normal <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_(geometry)> (90°) to the apparent wind. Depending on the alignment of the sail with the apparent wind, lift or drag may be the predominant propulsive component. Total aerodynamic force also resolves into a forward, propulsive, driving force—resisted by the medium through or over which the craft is passing (e.g. through water, air, or over ice, sand)—and a lateral force, resisted by the underwater foils, ice runners, or wheels of the sailing craft. For apparent wind angles aligned with the entry point of the sail, the sail acts as an airfoil <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airfoil> and lift is the predominant component of propulsion. For apparent wind angles behind the sail, lift diminishes and drag increases as the predominant component of propulsion. For a given true wind velocity over the surface, a sail can propel a craft to a higher speed, on points of sail when the entry point of the sail is aligned with the apparent wind, than it can with the entry point not aligned, because of a combination of the diminished force from airflow around the sail and the diminished apparent wind from the velocity of the craft. Because of limitations on speed through the water, displacement sailboats generally derive power from sails generating lift on points of sail that include close-hauled through broad reach (approximately 40° to 135° off the wind). Because of low friction over the surface and high speeds over the ice that create high apparent wind speeds for most points of sail, iceboats can derive power from lift further off the wind than displacement boats. Thus depending on various factors, sails are set. Sails are used according to the perfect needs and wind speed and hence they are called sailors. Q2 Perverts do write illegitimate imaginations. Q3 There are so many events like that; one who read the Amritsar war entered by me some time back, reveres, some xyz known to him as bravery; the incident is in the OTT platform as a picture also. And the cat at last out of the bag; so long I was thinking that the Q&A are remarked as errorprone; but it is not that sir; it is telling all, it will contain data error, factual error, spelling error, grammatical error and all vital fatal errors. And the tail cut fox expected all other foxes to cut their tails. Something we are able to understand only later. Thank you. What applied to Peter applied to Paul also. Q4 What a meaningless question? Has anyone understood? Place etc? Body will attune to your habits; and so when you eat less food , which normally you eat, also will reduce your weight. And the body will become appeased after hunger, driving one mad, because the body can digest the fat in you converting them as Glucose; hence people used to feel there is no more hunger; diabetic sugar will shoot. If Bavaria fools were to do something, what does it concern us with? Anything enigmatic? Q5 Too late sir. Awesome arises only to well-frogs unread, who are unknown to what is happening around. StarBucks coffee has them. Charity is termed so differently. In India it is followed in chennai sheraton Bangalore woodlands, Mumbai restaurants. There is another pattern also. There are some kind of shelters-shelf closed lids, normally openable, where any one can bring their food and clothings and place them; the poor will open and use them. It is in India too ; Madurai has it. Many might know. Altruism in different shapes. Free night shelters are provided like our old chartams. And if someone writes about surgery in media like FB, people send money. Generally charity is for good people; but acts as a conduit pipe for the sinners, to dispose of their black money as charity. Unknown faces under the title of human dignity. KR IRS 24 7 23 NB Small well people may not read these. Sorry
