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...
