Question
In 1943 British Lancaster bombers were used to bomb dams during Operation Chastise. The mission required the planes to fly at a 60 ft altitude. However, the plane's instrumentation was not accurate enough. Alternatively, two spotlights were used to determine when the plane was at 60 ft. One spotlight was mounted to the bombers front and another to the rear. The angles were adjusted so the light beams would overlap when the aircraft was at a 60 ft altitude. The front spotlight angle was 30^degree. Draw a figure and find the required angle a.Explanation / Answer
Ans: 60 degree. If we construct a parallelogram we came to know about angle 60 degree.
