An airplane is moving due west at a speed of 100 mi/hr. The propeller blades is 5 ft. long (radius of blades rotation) and turning 1800 RPM clockwise when viewed from the front. Determine: (a) the propeller velocity at the instant when it is vertically above the axis of propellers rotation, (in ft/sec.) and (b) the magnitude and position of the vector resultant of the propellers. (ft/sec. and degrees).
