An aircraft is flying at 500 ft/s with an elevation of 185 ft from the ground on a straight-line path that will take it directly over an anti-aircraft gun. How fast, in radians per second, will the gun have to turn to accurately track the aircraft when the plane is: a. 1000 feet away=? b. 100 feet away=? Note: the distances above are measured along the ground (the value x in the diagram.)
