Answer to Problem 37E

4 minutes 8 seconds

Explanation of Solution

Given information: Communications: A satellite is orbiting Earth every 2 hours. The satellite is directly over a tracking station which has its antenna aimed 45∘ above the horizon. The satellite is orbiting 1240 miles above Earth and the radius of Earth is about 3960 miles.

Advanced Mathematical Concepts: Precalculus with Applications, Student Edition, Chapter 5.7, Problem 37E

Calculation:

The distance from satellite to center of Earth is

  3960+1240=5200 miles

Using the triangle drawn, with knowledge of the fact that a tangent is perpendicular to the radius,

The angle opposite the 5200 miles side is

  45∘+90∘=135∘

x is the angle at the satellite

  5200sin135∘=3960sinxsinx=3960sin135∘5200x=sin−1(3960sin135∘5200)x≈32.58083835

  θ is the angle at the center of the earth

  θ≈180∘−(135∘+32.6∘)≈12.4∘

Every two hours the satellite completes 360∘

  12.4∘360∘(2 hours)≈0.06888889 hours(×60) which is about 4.13 minutes ≈ 4 minutes 8 seconds
