To calculation:
Resultant velocity and direction of plane.
Answer to Problem 7CYU
The plane would be traveling at about
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Calculation:
For finding out velocity and direction of plane, initially component form of the planes
The planes vector is
Since the wind is parallel to the ground its
The wind vector is
Add the planes vector with winds vector.
Now use Pythagoras theorem to find the resulting vector magnitude.
To find vector direction use trigonometry,
Hence, the plane would be traveling at about
