To find the coefficient of lift, we can use the formula:

Coefficient of Lift = Lift / (0.5 * Air Density * Platform Area * Wind Speed^2)

Plugging in the given values, we get:

Coefficient of Lift = 1.45 / (0.5 * 1 * 0.027 * 7.1^2) = 1.45 / 0.529287 = 2.743 (rounded to three significant figures)

So, the coefficient of lift is 2.74.

To find the lift-to-drag ratio, we use the formula:

Lift-to-Drag Ratio = Lift / Drag

Plugging in the given values, we get:

Lift-to-Drag Ratio = 1.19 / 0.77 = 1.545 (rounded to three significant figures)

So, the lift-to-drag ratio is 1.55.

The unit for the coefficient of lift is no units. It is a dimensionless quantity.

The unit for the lift-to-drag ratio is also no units. It is a dimensionless quantity.
