A plane flies horizontally at an altitude of 6 km and passes directly over a tracking telescope on the ground. When the angle of elevation is π/4, this angle is decreasing at a rate of π/4 rad/min. How fast is the plane traveling at that time?

A rescue plane flies horizontally at a constant speed searching for a disabled boat. When the plane is directly above the boat, the boat's crew blows a loud horn. By the time the plane's sound detector receives the horn's sound, the plane has traveled a distance equal to one-fourth its altitude above the ocean. Assuming it takes the sound 2.16 s to reach the plane, and taking the speed of sound to be 343 m/s, determine the following. (a) the...
