c_e = 𝑯_𝒆/(Ch_e*0.5*ρ*V^2*S_e)
This formula uses 6 Variables

Variables Used

Elevator Chord - (Measured in Meter) - Elevator Chord is the chord length of an elevator measured from its hinge line to trailing edge.
Hinge Moment - (Measured in Newton Meter) - Hinge Moment is the moment acting on a control surface that the pilot must overcome by exerting a force on the control stick.
Hinge Moment Coefficient - Hinge Moment Coefficient is the coefficient associated with the hinge moment of the control surface of an aircraft.
Density - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Density of flow refers to the mass per unit volume of a fluid through which aircraft is moving.
Flight Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Flight Velocity refers to the speed at which an aircraft moves through the air.
Elevator Area - (Measured in Square Meter) - The Elevator Area is the area of the control surface responsible for providing pitching motion to an aircraft.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Hinge Moment: 25 Newton Meter --> 25 Newton Meter No Conversion Required
Hinge Moment Coefficient: 0.770358 --> No Conversion Required
Density: 1.225 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> 1.225 Kilogram per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Flight Velocity: 60 Meter per Second --> 60 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Elevator Area: 0.02454 Square Meter --> 0.02454 Square Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

c_e = 𝑯_𝒆/(Ch_e*0.5*ρ*V^2*S_e) --> 25/(0.770358*0.5*1.225*60^2*0.02454)

Evaluating ... ...

c_e = 0.599741718149765

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.599741718149765 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.599741718149765 ≈ 0.599742 Meter <-- Elevator Chord
