At 2:00 AM an enemy ship is located moving with velocity 10 mph northeast. A gunner located 60 miles N40degreesW of the ship is notified and will prepare to launch a torpedo. It will take the gunner 30 minutes from the time of the ship's sighting to fire a torpedo with a speed of 25 mph. In what direction should the gunner fire, and when, to the nearest minute, will the hit occur?
A diagram would be a good start. See the handout with this problem and the work done in class.
