Discuss amongst yourselves... Well, let's see. The air is less dense at 10,000 MSL than it is at sea level. One formula for force is F = ma. This suggests the air flow through the variometer would produce less force at 10,000MSL than it would at sea level. If the variometer is a vane-type variometer perhaps the variometer vane would not be moved as much at 10,000 MSL than it would be at sea level. So... the variometer would read less lift/drag at 10,000 MSL than it would at sea level? Just a guess. I really have no idea. |
