Final answer:
To determine the projected wingspan of a pterosaur, we need to use the equation W = kH, where W is the wingspan and H is the length of the humerus. We can substitute the given humerus length into the equation, but without the value of the scale factor k, an exact wingspan cannot be determined.
Step-by-step explanation:
Physics: Wingspan of a Pterosaur
To determine the projected wingspan of a pterosaur, we need to use the equation from part (a). Let's assume that the equation is W = kH, where W is the wingspan and H is the length of the humerus. The value of k represents the scale factor.
If the humerus is 52 centimeters, and we have the equation W = kH, we can substitute the value of H to find the wingspan, as follows:
W = k * 52
Now, we need to determine the value of k. Unfortunately, the value of k is not given in the question, so we cannot provide an exact wingspan. We need more information or additional equations to find the value of k and, consequently, the wingspan of the pterosaur.
