A pilot wishes to fly from Bayfield to Kitchener, a distance of 100 km on a bearing of 105°. The speed of the plane in still air is 240 km/h. A 20 km/h wind is blowing on a bearing of 210⁰. Remembering that she must fly on a bearing of 105° relative to the ground (i.e. the resultant must be on that bearing), determine: a. the heading she should take to reach her destination. b. how long the trip will take.
