1. A radar station locates a ship at range 17.3km and bearing 136 degrees clockwise from north. From the same station a rescue plane is at horizontal range 21.5km, 153 degrees clockwise from north, with elevation 2.20km. The vector displacement from plane to ship can be written in the form, a1i+a2j+a3k, where i is east, j is north, k is up. Find the values of a1, a2 a3 and the distance between the plane and ship.
2.Ax=Acos(-136)=-12
Ay=Asin(-136)=-12
Bx=Bcos(-153)=-19
By=Bsin(-153)=-9
Cx= Do I find the "up" components the same way? I know the elevation is 2.20km, is the angle 90 degrees?
