An airplane flies betwee two cities separately by a distance `D`. Assume the wind blows directly from one city to the other at a speed `V_(A)(` as shown `)` and the speed of the airplane is `V_(0)` relative to the air. Find the time taken by the airplane to make a round trip between the cities `(` that is , to fly from city `A` to city `B` and then back to City `A )` ?

A

`(2DV_(0))/(V_(0)^(2)-V_(A)^(2))`

B

`(DV_(0))/(V_(0)^(2)-V_(A)^(2))`

C

`(2DV_(0))/(V_(0)^(2)+V_(A)^(2))`

D

`(DV_(0))/(V_(0)^(2)+V_(A)^(2))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The speed of the plane as it goes from city `A` to city `B` is `V_(o)+V_(A)` and the speed of the plane as it goes from city `B` to city `A` is `V_(o)-V_(A)` . Therefore the time taken by the plane to go once the trip is
`t=(D)/(V_(o)-V_(A))+(D)/(V_(o)+V_(A))=(2DV_(o))/(V_(o)^(2)-V_(A)^(2))`

An airplane flies northward from town A and B and then back again. There is a steady wind blowing towards the north so that for the first state of the trip, the airplane is flying in the same direction as the wind and for the return trip of the journey, the airplane is flying opposite of the wind. The total trip time T_(omega) as compared to the total trip time in the absence of any winds T_(0) is:
