Two vectors determine a plane, and the cross product points in a direction
different from both. There are two perpendicular directions. By convention,
we assume a right –handed system.

Figure shows the variations of (δr)reqd and (δr)free as functions of

β. When β is greater than about 150, (δr)free increases rapidly.
It((δr)free) equals (δr)reqd at β = βrl and then exceeds (δr)reqd . In
this situation, the pedal force would be reverse in direction. This
phenomenon is called rudder lock

Differentiating, we have:
dy
 mx m 1
dx
and
d2y

 m(m  1) x m  2
dx
Suubstituting into the original equation, we have:
x 2 (m(m  1) x m  2 )  ax(mx m 1 )  b( x m )  0
 m 2  (a  1)m  b  0
Given a  5 and b  4
Substituting the value of a and b on above equation we get;
m 2  (5  1)m  4  0
m 2  4m  4  0
 m  2
For the one real repeated root,the solution is given by
y  c1 x m ln( x)  c2 x m
 y  c1 x 2 ln( x)  c2 x 2

When the landing gear is lowered extra drag is produced which
acts from a point below the CG line and inturn develops a nose down
pitching moment.

In order to balance this moment elevator must be deflected up.

And to overcome extra drag and maintain same CL throttle
must be increased.

When she starts from Q and goes towards P, she covers 32  42  5 km to reach P.
Since she travels 15 km towards that direction, the remaining distance she goes is 15  5  10 km.
From figure,
Distance between Fatema and point P = 102  62  8 km
Hence, she needs to go 8 km towards east to reach point P.
