Two cities A and B are 300 miles apart. In fluing from city A to city B, a piolot inadvertenly took a course that was 5 degrees in error. A) If the error was discovered after flying 10 minutes at a constant speed of 420 miles per hour, through what angle should the pilot trun to correct the course? B) Waht new constatn speed should bemaintained so that no time is lost due to the error? ( Assume that the speed would have been constant 420 miles per hour if no error had occured).
