Answer:
The speed in of the plane is 115.47 m/sec
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Height at which the plane is flying = 6000 m
Angle of elevation at the radar base = 30 Degrees
Angle of elevation at the radar base after one minute = 60 Degrees
To Find:
The Speed of the plane in meter per second = ?
Solution:
Let us use the tangent of the angle to find the distance (d) to a point directly below plane:
<u>when the angle is 30 degrees</u>
d1 = 10392.3 meters
<u>when the angle is 60 degrees</u>
d2 = 3464.1 meters
<u>distance travelled by aircraft in 1 min is </u>
=>d1 - d2
=>0392.3 - 3464.1
= 6928.2 m/min
<u>Now converting to m/sec</u>
=>
=>115.47 m/sec
