Question
Calculate the wind velocity for the situation . The plane is known to be moving at 45.0 m/s due north
relative to the air mass, while its velocity relative to the ground (its total velocity) is 38.0 m/s in a direction 20.0º west of
north. An airplane is known to be heading north at 45.0 m/s, though its velocity relative to the ground is 38.0 m/s at an angle west of north.
What is the speed and direction of the wind?
