Chapter 1: Problem 73
When Coast Guard pararescue jumpers leap from a helicopter to save a person in the water, they like to jump when the helicopter is flying "ten and ten," which means it is 10 feet above the water and moving forward with a speed of 10 knots. What is "ten and ten" in SI units? (A knot is 1 nautical mile per hour, and a nautical mile is \(1.852 \mathrm{~km}\).)
