Two aircraft approaching an aircraft carrier are detected by radar. The first aircraft is at a horizontal distance of 34.3 km in the direction 42.0 north of east and has an altitude of 2.40 km. The second aircraft, at half this altitude, is at a horizontal distance of 42.6 km in the direction 37.0 north of east. What is the distance separating the two aircraft? Hint: Use a coordinate system with the x axis pointing east, the y axis pointing north, and the z axis in the vertical direction.

In Jules Vernes novel, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, Captain Nemo and his passengers undergo many adventures as they travel the Earths oceans, a. If 1.00 league equals 3.500 km, find the depth in meters to which the crew traveled if they actually went 2.000 104 leagues below the ocean surface. b. Find the difference between your answer to part (a) and the radius of the Earth, 6.38 106 m. (Incidentally, author Jules Verne meant that the total distance traveled, and not the depth, was 20,000 leagues.)
