Find whether the radius is larger near P or near Q.
Answer to Problem 3BE
Larger near P.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The shuttle’s turning radius changes as it moves along the surface of the Heading Alignment Cone .
Calculation:
The given situation is :
Since the cone is wider from above than below.
So the radius goes on increasing as the Shuttle goes nearer to Heading Alignment Cone.
Since the point P is nearer to Heading Alignment Cone than point Q is .
So, the Shuttle’s turning radius is larger at P than Q.
