A plane is flying at the height of 5000 m above the sea level. At a particular point, it is exactly above a submarine floating 1200 m below the sea level. What is the vertical distance between them?
It is given in the question that,
Height of plane = 5000 m
Also,
Depth of submarine = - 1200 m
Therefore,
Distance between plane and submarine = 5000 – (-1200)
= 5000 + 1200
= 6200 m
