To find: The ground speed and direction of plane.
Answer to Problem 25E
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
A plane is flying in the direction
Calculation:
The ray diagram of the situation is shown below.
Now make the vertical component and horizontal component of speed of plane and speed of wind.
The velocity vector of plane is,
The velocity vector of wind is,
The resultant velocity is,
The magnitude of the velocity,
The direction of the resultant,
Hence, the resultant velocity with respect to ground is 346.74 mph and the direction is about
