To find: The speed of the plane relative to the ground.
Answer to Problem 84CLR
The speed of the plane relative to the ground
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The distance travelled is
The increase in speed is of
The increase in speed reduces the journey by
Calculation:
Consider the speed of the plane in still air is
The time taken by the plane to cover the distance when there is no wind is,
The time taken for the journey with the tail wind is,
Consider increase in speed reduces the journey by
Then, the speed with the tail wind is
Thus, the speed of the plane relative to the ground
