Aplane is maintaining a 90◦ heading at 40◦ n latitude, with an air speed of 580 miles per hour. the cruise control is engaged, using a pressure altimeter while over the ocean. the altimeter is set for a sea level pressure 1013 hpa and keeps an indicated altitude of 37,500 feet. at the start of a 1 hour period the radar altimeter, which provides the actual distance above the surface, shows 36,750 feet. at the end of the 1 hour period, the radar altimeter shows 34,200 feet. assuming purely geostrophic flow, what direction and about how far has the plane drifted from its course.

When a vertical beam of light passes through a transparent medium, the rate at which its intensity i decreases is proportional to i(t), where t represents the thickness of the medium (in feet). in clear seawater, the intensity 3 feet below the surface is 25% of the initial intensity i0 of the incident beam. what is the intensity of the beam "10" feet below the surface? (give your answer in terms of i0. round any constants or coefficients to five decimal places.)
