Read the question carefully..... I don't know the answer myself, but it says that min sink rate if you fly a certain angle. The ROD and speed will be DIFFERENT at various masses, however it states that at that angle it will be the best you will get?? Might be true, a similar thing is true that all aerofoils stall at the same angle of attack. Boffins work it out for me please.......
