Question

This question is based on satellites, so I kept it under mechanical engineering. The question is attached as an image.

Consider a satellite is moving around the earth. The eccentricity and the eccen-
tric anomaly of the orbit are e and E, respectively. If 3 is the flight path angle
of the satellite then
a) tan 3 = sin E
V1-e2
b) tan 3 = (1-sin E)
V1-e
c) tan 3 = e(1+sin E)
V1-e
d) tan 3 = e+1) sin E
