A ‘plane which is flying at 216 knots on a course of 310 degrees, passes over Dubbo at
\n" ); document.write( "3.40pm. How far west of Dubbo will it be at 4.15pm?
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "t = 35 minutes = 7/12 hours
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "d = 216*(7/12) = 126 nm from Dubbo
\n" ); document.write( "Distance West = 126*cos(40)
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
