`(2l)/(sqrt(V^(2)-nu^(2)))`

B

`(2vl)/(V^(2)-nu^(2))`

C

`(2vl)/(V^(2)-nu^(2))`

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the total time taken for an airplane to travel from point A to point B and back again, considering the effects of wind. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand the Problem We have an airplane flying from point A to point B and back. The distance between A and B is \( l \), the speed of the airplane relative to the wind is \( V \), and the wind blows perpendicular to the line AB with speed \( v \). ### Step 2: Analyze the Motion When the airplane is flying, its velocity can be broken down into two components: - A horizontal component (along the line AB): \( V \cos \theta \) - A vertical component (against or with the wind): \( V \sin \theta \) ### Step 3: Relate the Vertical Component to Wind Speed Since the wind blows perpendicular to the path of the airplane, we can set the vertical component of the airplane's speed equal to the wind speed: \[ V \sin \theta = v \] From this, we can express \( \sin \theta \): \[ \sin \theta = \frac{v}{V} \] ### Step 4: Use the Pythagorean Identity We know from trigonometry that: \[ \sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta = 1 \] Substituting for \( \sin \theta \): \[ \left(\frac{v}{V}\right)^2 + \cos^2 \theta = 1 \] This leads us to find \( \cos \theta \): \[ \cos^2 \theta = 1 - \left(\frac{v}{V}\right)^2 \] \[ \cos \theta = \sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{V^2}} = \frac{\sqrt{V^2 - v^2}}{V} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the Effective Speed The effective speed of the airplane in the horizontal direction (along AB) is: \[ V \cos \theta = V \cdot \frac{\sqrt{V^2 - v^2}}{V} = \sqrt{V^2 - v^2} \] ### Step 6: Calculate the Total Distance The total distance for the round trip is: \[ \text{Total Distance} = l + l = 2l \] ### Step 7: Calculate the Total Time The total time \( T \) for the round trip can be calculated using the formula: \[ T = \frac{\text{Total Distance}}{\text{Effective Speed}} = \frac{2l}{\sqrt{V^2 - v^2}} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the total time for the round trip is: \[ T = \frac{2l}{\sqrt{V^2 - v^2}} \] ---
