An airfighter plane is flying west at 5 feet per sec at an altitude of 4000 feet. The plane is in vertical plane with a search light on the ground. If the light is to be kept on the plane, how fast is the search light revolving (dƟ/dt in radians per sec) when the jet plane is due east of the search light at an airline distance of 2000 feet.
