Question

Ship A is proceeding north at a constant speed of 12 knots

Ship A is proceeding north at a constant speed of 12 knots, and ship B is moving at 10 knots while turning to port (left) at the constant rate of 10 deg/min. When the ships are separated by a distance of 2 nautical miles in the relative positions shown, with B momentarily heading west and A crossing its bow, the navigator of B measures apparent velocity of A. Find the magnitude of this velocity and specify the clockwise angle beta which it makes with the north direction.
