Homework Statement
You're tracking a plane from the ground. The plane is at a constant height h from the ground, at a distance r from you at the illustrated instant, and at an inclination theta. The plane's speed is constant at 1200km/hr. Find the rate at which your tracking dish must rotate if r=3km and theta=30degrees. Does the acceleration of gravity make any contribution to your answer?
The attempt at a solution
The correct answer is 0.05 rad/s.
But this is what I got:
Sorry for the gigantic image!
Thanks.
