A plane with supplies is at an altitude h a distance over ground x from its drop point and the nose makes an angle
below horizontal.
- a.
- What speed must the plane have at that moment to be able to release its supplies and have them land right on the drop zone?
- b.
- When does this equation blow up (what are the limits of the variables)? Why?
-
- Ignore air resistance and consider
to be the direction of the velocity of the plane.
