a supply package will be dropped from an airplane to an arctic station. the planes altitude is 2000 ft, and its horizontal speed is 235 ft/s. the angle of depression to the target is 14 degrees. to the nearest foot what is the planes horizontal distance from the target? the plane needs to drop supplies when it is a horizontal distance of 500 ft from the target. to the nearest second, how long should the pilot wait before dropping the supplies?
