As part of a training exercise, the pilot of aircraft A adjusts her airspeed (speed relative to the wind) to 220 km/h while in the level portion of the approach path and thereafter holds her absolute speed constant as she negotiates 10o the glide path. The absolute speed of the aircraft carrier is 30 km/h and that of the wind is 48 km/h. What will be the angle β of the glide path with respect to the horizontal as seen by an observer on the ship?
