16. An airplane taking off moves at 500 km/h at an angle of 4° to the horizontal in the direction W30°N for 10 min. a) Calculate its final altitude and horizontal displacement from the airport. b) After the initial climb, the plane decreases its angle of ascent to 2°, reduces its speed to 400 km/h and changes course to W50°N. After 10 min on this new course, what is the horizontal displacement of the plane from the runway?
