A glider aircraft initially traveling due west at 85.0 km/h encounters a sudden gust of wind at 35.0 km/h directed toward the northeast (Fig. P3.62). What are the speed and direction of the glider relative to the ground during the wind gust? (The velocity of the glider with respect to the ground is the velocity of the gilder with respect to the wind plus the velocity of the wind with respect to the ground.)
