Question

A radar system is used to track a new experimental space launch vehicle. Early in the vehicle's flight trajectory, the azimuth angle B is increasing with the constant rate dß/dt = 20°/s. The elevation angle y is increasing at the rate dy/dt= 40°/s, and this rate is increasing at 5°/s. Know that the distance between 0 and Pis 2 m and that at this instant ß = 0° and y = 30°. dp/dt Determine the angular acceleration of the system. (You must provide an answer before moving on to the next part.) The angular acceleration of the system is ( .524 i+.087 k) rad/s2
