Question

calculate the anglar displacement of a circling aircraft which travels 3 Km along the arc of a circle which 10 Km

Answer 1

Task:

Calculate the angular displacement of a circling aircraft which travels 3 Km along the arc of a circle with R=10 Km

Solution:

$$l = \alpha R$$ $$\alpha = \frac {l}{R} = \frac {3 \, \text{km}}{10 \, \text{km}} = 0.3 \, \text{radians} = 0.3 \cdot \frac{180^*}{\pi} = 17.189\%$$

Answer:

$$\alpha = 17.189\%$$
