ISL 1982 Problem 44

    Let AA and BB be positions of two ships MM and NN , respectively, at the moment when NN saw MM moving with constant speed vv following the line AxAx . In search of help, NN moves with speed kvkv ( k<1k < 1 ) along the line ByBy in order to meet MM as soon as possible. Denote by CC the point of meeting of the two ships, and set AB=d,∠BAC=α,0≤α<π2.AB = d, \angle BAC = \alpha, 0 \leq \alpha < \frac{\pi}{2}. Determine the angle ∠ABC=β\angle ABC = \beta and time tt that NN needs in order to meet MM .
