A journalist is flying from Austin to Austria, a displacement of 6345km [E 21 N]. The pilot has noted that during the flight, the wind is to be out of the west at 90km/h. If the flight is to take 7.5h, a) what heading and air speed must the pilot choose? b) assuming the same air speed, how much time does the wind save the pilot?
