3. A small fire is sighted from ranger stations A and B. The bearing of the fire from station A is N35E, and the bearing of the fire from station B is N49W. Station A is 1.3 miles due west of station B.
a) How far is the fire from each station?
b) At fire station C, which is 1.5 miles from A, there is a helicopter that can be used to drop water on the fire. If the bearing of C from A is S42E, find the distance from C to the fire, and find the bearing of the fire from
C. Note: A neat labeled diagram is required.

PROBLEM 3 A fire station is located one mile from the west end
of a 3 mile east-west stretch of road. (The fire station is located
along that road, one mile from the west end and two miles from the
east end.) Fires to which the fire truck must respond are uniformly
distributed along this stretch of road. When a fire call comes, the
truck leaves immediately and travels at 30 miles per hour (= 1/2
mile per minute). Let...

(a) Stations A and B are at the same sea surface elevation level
and have a bottom depth of 2000 m. Both stations have seawater with
a uniform density with respect to depth; however the seawater
density at A and B are different (sA = 24.7 kg/m3 ; sB = 25.4 kg/m3
). [A = 40o 45' N, 25o 45' W; B = 41o 5' N, 24o 45' W]
(b) Does this current vary with respect to depth ? If...

3. You are listening to two fire trucks with sirens blaring
headed to a fire down the street. One has passed you and is headed
away from you already. The other is headed down the street toward
you. You know that these fire engine sirens play a note at a
frequency of 700 Hz (20 points).
(a) You listen to the sounds of the two sirens and you notice a
fast “wobbling” of the sounds from the two sirens at...

A fire insurance company thought that the mean distance from a
home to the nearest fire department in a suburb of Chicago was at
least 4.7 miles. It set its fire insurance rates accordingly.
Members of the community set out to show that the mean distance was
less than 4.7 miles. This, they thought, would convince the
insurance company to lower its rates. They randomly identified 64
homes and measured the distance to the nearest fire department from
each. The...
