Answer to Question #81571 in Physics for sal

Question

In your quest to become a superhero you look into growing flaps of skin to join your arms and legs so that you can glide like a colugo. Look at the description of the colugo on wikipeida: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colugo and the image at this link: https://3c1703fe8d.site.internapcdn.net/newman/gfx/news/hires/2016/57b1a93e4f6ae.jpg

The flap of skin that joins allows the colugo to glide is called a patagium. The lift that the patagium provides depends on its area.

Calculate how long your arms and legs would need to be so that a connecting patagium would allow you to glide like a colugo. Include a sketch of yourself with a patagium and indicate the dimensions on the sketch.
