I am the pilot of my private plane. I am flying west at five hundred feet per second at an altitude of four thousand feet and a searchlight on the ground lies directly under the path of my plane.If the light is kept on the plane, how fast is the searchlight revolving when the airline distance of my plane from the searchlight is two thousand feet due east?
