Question
An airplane pilot wishes to fly to his destination 500 mi due west, but the wind is blowing at 24.9 mi/hr toward 25.3° north of west. The speed of the plane relative to the air is 165.9 mi/hr. At what angle (south of
west) must the pilot orient the plane in order to fly to his destination directly?
Which velocity components need to balance (cancel)?

If the pilot orients the plane at that angle, what will be the speed of the plane relative to the ground?
