The captain of a small plane starts his journey by proceeding east. The speed of the plane with respect to still air is 160 km/h. A sudden north wind starts to blow at a constant speed of 71.0 km/h. As seen by people on the ground, what is the angle made between the direction of motion of the plane with repect to the east?
