The speedboat B is cruising to the north at 74 mi/hr when it encounters an eastward current of speed vc = 13mi/hr but does not change its heading (relative to the water). Determine the subsequent velocity of the boatrelative to the wind and express your result as a magnitude Vrel and compass direction e measured clockwisefrom north. The current affects the motion of the boat; the southwesterly wind of speed vw= 19 mi/hr doesnot.30Answers:Vrel =imi/hrA =

A pilot is required to fly directly from London, UK, to Rome, Italy in 4.5h. The displacement is 1.7 x 103km [S15o E] A wind is blowing from the west with a velocity of 75 km/hr. Determine the required velocity of the plane relative to the air.
A sailboat moving in the direction shown is tacking to windward against a north wind. The log registers a hull speed of 6.7 knots. A "telltale" (light string tied to the rigging) indicates that the direction of the apparent wind is 33° from the centerline of the boat. What is the true wind velocity vw? 6.7 knots 430 330 Vw knots Answer: vw = i
