Question

Problem 2An airplane passes over the Bradley International Airport radar tracking station at point A and continues to fly due north. When the plane is at point P, the distance

and angle of elevation of the plane are, respectively, r = 14,000 ft and 0 = 31.8°. Two seconds later, the radar station sights the plane at r = 15,200 ft and 0 = 28.7°. Determine approximately the speed and the angle of dive (a ) of the plane during the 2-s interval.
