प्रश्न
An aeroplane is flying parallel to the Earth’s surface at a speed of 175 m/sec and at a height of 600 m. The angle of elevation of the aeroplane from a point on the Earth’s surface is 37°. After what period of time does the angle of elevation increase to 53°? (tan 53° = 1.3270, tan 37° = 0.7536)
उत्तर
Let C is the initial and D is the final position of the aeroplane.
Let the time taken by the aeroplane be t
∴ CD = 175 t ...(Distance = speed × time)
Let AB be x
∴ AE = x + 175 t
In the right ∆ABC
tan 53° = `"BC"/"AB"`
⇒ 1.3270 = `600/x`
x = `600/1.327` ...(1)
In the right ΔAED, tan 37° = `"DE"/"AE"`
0.7536 = `600/(x + 175"t")`
x + 175 t = `600/(0.7536)`
x = `600/(0.7536) - 175"t"` ...(2)
From (1) and (2) we get
`600/(1.327) = 600/(0.7536) - 175"t"`
175 t = `600/(0.7536) - 600/(1.327)`
175 t = 796.18 − 452.15 = 344.03
∴ t = `(344.03)/175` = 1.97 seconds
∴ Time taken is 1.97 seconds
