Consider the following statements regarding fin of minimum weight
1. The weight saved by using the triangular fin is 44%.
2. The difference in weight between a fin in shape of circular arc and the fin of triangular shape is very large.
3. The triangular shape fin is regarded as best shape as it is much easier to manufacture.
4. Weight of fin is of paramount importance for the design of cooling device used in aircraft.
