3.82 in an air race, an aircraft flies from a point directly above Metropolis to a point directly city aniba Gothic, turn and return at starting point. The speed of the aircraft with respect to the air is constant in all the flight and equal to v. city is Gothic a distance D to the East of Metropolis. (Cuanto tiempo se requiere si sepla un viento con rapidez constante w b) to the East? (c) towards the South?

Answer b) \frac{2Dv}{v^2-w^2} I have no idea of this answer It should be 2d/v-w

c) \frac{2d}{\sqrt{v^2-w^2}}}

in an air race, an aircraft flies from a point directly above Metropolis to a point directly on the top of Gothic city, turn and return at starting point. The speed of the aircraft with respect to the air is constant in all the flight and equal to v. city is Gothic a distance D to the East of Metropolis. (How much time is required if a wind blows at constant speed w b) to the East? (c) towards the South?

Answer b) \frac{2Dv}{v^2-w^2} I have no idea of this answer It should be 2d/v-w

c) \frac{2d}{\sqrt{v^2-w^2}}}
