The pressure altimeter is an aneroid barometer that measures the pressure of the atmosphere at the level where the altimeter is located. Consider a jet airliner moving at 447 mph in a
direction 60 degrees cast of north, has a speed relative to the ground of 503 mph due east. Recall from physics I that a plane has both an absolute speod relative to the ground, and a
speed relative to the air. The values are different in the presence of wind. Draw a cartesian vector diagram of the jet, both with respect to the Earth and ait.
a) Caleulate thex and y components of the geostrophic wind the plane is flying in. Use 3 sig figs for all.
b) If the pilot simply flies along the pressure surface, calculate the rate of change in altitude of the plane using the characteristic Coriolis parameter defined in clas
