Detailed Solution

At any instance, let x be the horizontal distance of the plane from the radar. Then

xtanθ=h

Question Image

Differentiating throughout with respect to time, we have

dxtanθdt=dhdttanθdxdt+xdtanθdt=0vtanθ+xsec2θdθdt=0 dθdt =vtanθxsec2θ

Putting dθdt =ω  and x=htanθ, we have 

ω=vhsin2θ

We know  α=ωdωdθ. Hence 

αω=dωdθ=vhsin(2θ)

Alternatively

ω=vsinθOP=vsinθhcosecθ=vhsin2θ

α=dωdt=dsin2θdt α=2sinθ.cosθ.dθdt αω=sin2θ
