Homework Statement
A coastguard station locates a ship at range 15.4 km and bearing 123° clockwise from north.
From the same station a plane is at horizontal range 19.4 km, 150° clockwise from north, with elevation 2.06 km.
What is the vector displacement from plane to ship, let i represent east, j north, and k up.
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
Shipx=15.4cos123 = -8.39i km
Shipy=15.4sin123 = 12.92j kmPlanex=19.4cos150 = -16.8i km
Planey=19.4sin150 = 9.7j km
Planez=2.06 k km
Therefore Displacement PtoS = (P-S)
=(-8.41i , -3.22j , 2.06k) km
Any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated!
