1. Three aircrafts make a turn in the horizontal plane at uniform speed, moving along
concentric circular trajectories that are shown in figure. The aircrafts move such that
they are at constant distance of
600 m from each other at any time. The aircraft closest to the centre moves in a circle
of radius
R = 600 m. The aircraft 2 is moving at a speed of v = 720 km h–1. The acceleration of
third aircraft is 10a ms–2. Find the value of a.
