Ok.. this one is a bit long but I really need help on this one. An approach path for an aircraft landing is shown in the figure and satisfies the following conditions: (I). the cruising altitude is h when descent starts at a horizontal distance L from touch down at the origin. ii. the pilot must maintain a constant horizontal speed v throughout decent. iii. The absolute value of the vertical acceleration should not exceed a constant k9which is much less than the acceleration due to gravity). Use the conditions ii and iii to show that: 6hv^2/l^2 is less than or equal to k?
