Paper Details

An airplane passes over a radar tracking station at A and continues to fly due east. When the plane is at P, the distance and angle of elevation of the plane are, respectively, r = 12,600 ft and ? = 31.2°. Two seconds later the radar station sights the plane at r = 13,600 ft and ? = 28.3°. Determine approximately the speed and the angle of dive ? of the plane during the 2-s interval.
