Flight n. JL-50 has scheduled takeoff at 4:30:00 pm. The distance between hangar to the runway is 2.3 km and average taxiing speed is 20 km/hr. At what time should plane leave from the hangar if it has to depart at the scheduled time and average operating time for a flight is 13 minutes on the airport? Correct Answer 4:23:06 p.m.
Given:
The departure time of JL-50 is 4:30 p.m.
Distance between hangar and runway = 2.3 km
Average taxing speed = 20 km/hr
Average operating time for a flight = 13 minutes
Formula used :
Distance = Speed × Time
Calculation :
Time for taxiing = (2.3/20) hr
⇒ (2.3 × 60)/20 minutes
⇒ 2.3 × 3 minutes
⇒ 6.9 minutes
⇒ 6 minutes (0.9 × 60) seconds
⇒ 6 minutes 54 seconds
Total time required to takeoff = Time required for taxiing + Average operating time
⇒ 6:54 + 13
⇒ 19:54 minutes
⇒ Leaving time at hangar = 4:30:00 – 00:19:54
⇒ 4:10:06 p.m.
∴ The plane should leave the hangar by 4:10:06 p.m. to take off on scheduled time.
