Chapter 8: Q. 46 (page 528)

Time Lost due to a Navigation Error In attempting to fly from city P to city Q, an aircraft followed a course that was 10掳 in error, as indicated in the figure. After flying a distance

of 50 miles, the pilot corrected the course by turning at point R and flying 70 miles farther. If the constant speed of the aircraft was 250 miles per hour, how much time was lost due

to the error?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The plane took additional 0.3144 minutes.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given Information

In attempting to fly from city P to city Q, an aircraft followed a course that was 10掳 in error, as indicated in the figure. After flying a distance of 50 miles, the pilot corrected the course by turning at point R and flying 70 miles farther. If the constant speed of the

aircraft was 250 miles per hour.

We have to find the time lost due to error.
