Question: 1 1 - 1 3 2 Instruments in airplane A indicate that with respect to the air the plane is headed 3 0 north of

11-132
Instruments in airplane A indicate that with respect to the air the plane is headed 30 north of the east with an airspeed of 300mih. At the same time radar on ship B indicates that the relative velocity of the plane with respect to the ship is 280mih in the direction 33 north of east. Knowing that the ship is steaming due south at 12mih, determine (a) the velocity of the airplane, (b) the wind speed and direction. Answer should be Va=274 miles an hour with an anglenoangle of 30.9 and Vw=26.7miles an hour with an angle of 20.8
