Answer all questions. All necessary working should be shown crearly.
Non-exact numerical answers may be given correct to three significant
figyres, or
one dercimal place in the case of angles in degrees, unless a different level of
accuracy is specified in the questian.

2. At noon, the position of ship A is 10km North of another ship B . ship A then
travels at 30 km per hour in the direction 090", and ship B travels at speed 50 km

per hour in the direction 000'. Find

a. the magnitude and direction of ship B relative to ship A,

b. the closest distance between the two ships and

c. the time when both ships are at closest position. [Bmarks]

At the instance when both ships rare at a position of closest distance, slrip B
changes direction so as to meet ship A. The speeds of both ships are unchanged.

Show that the direction ship B must steer to meet up with ship A is 077".
