As part of a department store display, a model train D runs on a slight incline between the store's up
and down escalators. When the train and shoppers pass point A, the train appears to the shopper on the
up escalator B to move downward at an angle of 22° with the horizontal, and to a shopper on the down
escalator C to move upward at an angle of 23° with the horizontal to travel to the left. Knowing that the
speed of the escalators is 3 ft/s, determine the speed (ft/s) of the train.
30°
Arcseconds are the smallest units for measuring angular distance and also provide the most precise measurement.
Therefore your angular distances should always be converted into arcseconds unless noted otherwise.
The moon is measured as being 3' 40" away from the planet it orbits.
Convert this distance into arcseconds
(Remember that 1' = 60")
This is the same as dealing with time and asking how many total seconds pass after 3 minutes and 40 seconds.
a. 210-214
b. 215-218
c. 219-221
d. 222-226
