A plane flying the 4258-mi trip from new york to london has a 50-mph tailwind. The flights point of no return is the point at which the flight time required to return to new york is the same as the time required to continue to london. if the speed of the plane in still air is 360 mph, how far is new york from the point of no return?

• ans. 1833.30m
  
  speed from NY to Lon : (360+50) ie 410
  speed from Lon to NY : 310
  therefore
  (4258-x)/410 = x/310
  on solving x = 1833.3
