14. In the LORAN (LOng RAnge Navigation) radio navigation system, two radio stations located at A and
B transmit simultaneous signals to a ship or an aircraft located at P. The onboard computer converts the
time difference in receiving these signals into a distance difference , and this, according to the
definition of a hyperbola, locates the ship or aircraft on one branch of a hyperbola (see the figure).
Suppose that station B is located L = mi due east of station A on a coastline. A ship received the
signal from B microseconds (µs) before it received the signal from A. Assuming that radio signals
travel at a speed of ft /µs and if the ship is due north of B, how far off the coastline is the ship?
