The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of the aeroplane's resultant displacement after 2 hours, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Directions and Velocities The aeroplane is flying in the northeast direction with a velocity of 50 km/h. The wind is blowing from north to south at a velocity of 25 km/h. ### Step 2: Break Down the Velocities into Components Since the aeroplane is moving in the northeast direction, we can break its velocity into its north and east components using trigonometry. - The northeast direction makes a 45-degree angle with both the north and east axes. - The components of the aeroplane's velocity (V1) can be calculated as: - \( V_{1x} = V_1 \cos(45^\circ) = 50 \times \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{50}{\sqrt{2}} \) km/h (east component) - \( V_{1y} = V_1 \sin(45^\circ) = 50 \times \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{50}{\sqrt{2}} \) km/h (north component) ### Step 3: Calculate the Effective North Component The wind is blowing from north to south, which affects the northward component of the aeroplane's velocity. Therefore, we need to subtract the wind's velocity from the north component of the aeroplane's velocity. - The effective northward velocity (V_eff) is: - \( V_{eff} = V_{1y} - V_{wind} = \frac{50}{\sqrt{2}} - 25 \) km/h ### Step 4: Calculate the Resultant Velocity Now we have the eastward component (V1x) and the effective northward component (V_eff). We can find the resultant velocity (V_r) using the Pythagorean theorem: - \( V_{r} = \sqrt{(V_{1x})^2 + (V_{eff})^2} \) ### Step 5: Calculate the Resultant Displacement in 2 Hours To find the displacement after 2 hours, we multiply the resultant velocity by the time: - Displacement = \( V_r \times t \) ### Step 6: Substitute and Calculate Now we can substitute the values and calculate the resultant displacement. 1. Calculate \( V_{1x} \): - \( V_{1x} = \frac{50}{\sqrt{2}} \approx 35.36 \) km/h 2. Calculate \( V_{eff} \): - \( V_{eff} = 35.36 - 25 = 10.36 \) km/h 3. Calculate \( V_{r} \): - \( V_{r} = \sqrt{(35.36)^2 + (10.36)^2} \) - \( V_{r} = \sqrt{1252.57 + 107.36} = \sqrt{1359.93} \approx 36.84 \) km/h 4. Calculate the displacement in 2 hours: - Displacement = \( 36.84 \times 2 = 73.68 \) km ### Final Result The resultant displacement of the aeroplane in 2 hours is approximately **73.68 km**. ---
