Meriam, Kraige & Bolton — Kinematics of Particles: Problem 2_130

2/130 The low-flying aircraft P is traveling at a constant speed of 360 km/h in the holding circle of radius 3 km. For the instant shown, determine the quantities \(r, \dot{r}, \ddot{r}, \theta, \dot{\theta}\), and \(\ddot{\theta}\) relative to the fixed \(x\)-\(y\) coordinate system, which has its origin on a mountaintop at \(O\). Treat the system as two-dimensional.
