Concept explainers
The speed of the plane along with the direction relative to the ground.
Answer to Problem 38SSC
The relative velocity of the plane with respect to ground
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The velocity of the airplane due north relative to the air is
The velocity of the wind due northeast relative to the ground is
Formula used:
Vector addition ,
Calculation:
The free body diagram of the motion of airplane and the wind is shown below.
Relative velocity of air plane with respect to air
Relative velocity of the wind with respect to ground
The relative velocity of the plane with respect to ground
  
  
The direction of relative velocity is North East.
Conclusion:
Thus, the relative velocity of the plane with respect to ground
