Speed of airplane relative to ground.
Answer to Problem 30PP
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Speed of airplane is
Speed of wine is
Formula used:
  
Here, P and Q are two vectors which are perpendicular to each other.
Calculation:
Speed of airplane relative to air due north. Let
Graphical representation will be:
  
Now, speed of wind due east relative to ground. Let
Graphical representation will be:
  
Now, speed of airplane with respect to ground will be:
  
From the above figure, P and Q are perpendicular to each other.
Therefore, speed of airplane relative to ground is:
  
Conclusion:
Speed of airplane with respect to ground is
