Answer to Problem 109A
The heading needed to reach the destination on time is
The airspeed needed to reach the destination on time is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
A wind is blowing from the west at
Distance is 325 km due north.
Time taken will be 2.75 h.
Formula used:
The expression for the velocity of the plane is,
Here,
Calculation:
Consider the heading as the angle
The velocity of the plane with respect to the wind is,
The heading is,
The magnitude of the velocity of the plane as follows:
Conclusion:
Thus, the heading needed to reach the destination on time is
