A space shuttle is describing a circular orbit at an altitude of 200 mi above the surface of the earth. As it passes through A it fires its engine for ashort interval of time to reduce its speed by 6 percent and begin its descent toward the earth. Determine the altitude of the shuttle at point B, knowing that the angle AOB is equal to50°.
