An airplane maintains a speed of 573 km/h relative to the air it is flying through as it makes a trip to a city 703 km away to the north. (Assume north is the positive y-direction and east is the positive x-direction.)   (a) What time interval is required for the trip if the plane flies through a headwind blowing at 35.7 km/h toward the south? h   (b) What time interval is required if there is a tailwind with the same speed? h   (c) What time interval is required if there is a crosswind blowing at 35.7 km/h to the east relative to the ground?
