Regarding Jack's comments:
I think that the interesting part of the original problem is that
it requires the solver to realize that plane geometry is not
involved.
I disagree. The radius of curvature of the earth is over 6000 times
the length scale of the problem as it is stated. A flat earth
approximation is quite sufficient.
