Question

An airplane pilot sets a compass course due west and maintains an air speed of 240 km/h. After flying for
h, he finds himself over a town that is 150 km west and 40 km south of his starting point. Find the wind
velocity (with respect to ground​

Answer 1

Answer:

Now, to find the angle x we have tanx = 40/150 which will be x= 15 west of south. So, the velocity of the pilot with respect to the ground is 155/0.5 since he flew for 1/2 hr.

Explanation:

1/2
