That question is so poorly worded that it ceases to be meaningful. It seems to ask for the final forward azimuth of a geodesic (great circle) between the given stand- and forepoints. On the WGS84...

Keith,

In the airspeed coordinate system the beacon has a velocity vector opposite to the wind vector.

Is it not correct that when the beacon is finally reached the aircraft velocity vector is...

Paco,

Thanks for the heads up on the path being a pursuit curve. The derivation from first principles in terms of groundspeed coordinates was not going well!

KayPam,



That means the bulk modulus K is finite. Increasing K results in higher speeds. In other words for an acoustic wave to have a finite travel time the volume of the material must change....
