The speedboat B is cruising to the north at 77
mi/hr when it encounters an eastward current
of speed vc = 14 mi/hr but does not change its
heading (relative to the water). Determine the
subsequent velocity of the boat relative to the
wind and express your result as a magnitude vrel
and compass direction 0 measured clockwise
from north. The current affects the motion of
the boat; the southwesterly wind of speed vw =
26 mi/hr does not.

The speedboat B is cruising to the north at 78 mi/hr when it encounters an eastward current of speed vC = 11 mi/hr but does not change its heading (relative to the water). Determine the subsequent velocity of the boat relative to the wind and express your result as a magnitude vrel and compass direction θ measured clockwise from north. The current affects the motion of the boat; the southwesterly wind of speed vW = 25 mi/hr does not.
