An airplane is flying at an airspeed of 510 miles per hour headed on a bearing of 295° from North. A north wind (a wind blowing from north to south) is blowing at 34 miles per hour. Find the groundspeed and actual bearing of the plane. (Round all answers to the nearest tenth.) The groundspeed of the plane is: The actual bearing of the plane is: mi/hr. 0
