The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of the aeroplane's resultant displacement, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Components of the Aeroplane's Velocity The aeroplane is flying at a velocity of 50 kph at an angle of 30 degrees north of east. We can break this velocity into its x (east) and y (north) components using trigonometric functions. - **East Component (Vx)**: \[ V_x = V \cdot \cos(\theta) = 50 \cdot \cos(30^\circ) = 50 \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = 25\sqrt{3} \text{ kph} \] - **North Component (Vy)**: \[ V_y = V \cdot \sin(\theta) = 50 \cdot \sin(30^\circ) = 50 \cdot \frac{1}{2} = 25 \text{ kph} \] ### Step 2: Account for the Wind's Effect The wind is blowing from north to south at 25 kph. This wind will affect the northward component of the aeroplane's velocity. - The wind's velocity is in the negative y-direction (south), so we subtract it from the north component of the aeroplane's velocity: \[ V_{y, \text{resultant}} = V_y - \text{wind speed} = 25 - 25 = 0 \text{ kph} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the Resultant Velocity Since the northward component of the velocity cancels out due to the wind, the resultant velocity of the aeroplane is only in the east direction. - Thus, the resultant velocity (Vr) is: \[ V_r = V_x = 25\sqrt{3} \text{ kph} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the Displacement Over Time To find the displacement over a time period of 2 hours, we use the formula: \[ \text{Displacement} = \text{Velocity} \times \text{Time} \] Substituting the values: \[ \text{Displacement} = V_r \times t = 25\sqrt{3} \times 2 = 50\sqrt{3} \text{ km} \] ### Step 5: Convert to Decimal Form To express the displacement in decimal form, we calculate \(50\sqrt{3}\): \[ \sqrt{3} \approx 1.732 \implies 50\sqrt{3} \approx 50 \times 1.732 \approx 86.6 \text{ km} \] ### Final Answer The resultant displacement of the aeroplane in 2 hours is approximately **86.6 km**. ---
