An airplane is heading due south at a speed of 640 km/h. If a wind begins blowing from the southwest at a speed of 70 km/h (average), calculate the following.

(a) the velocity (magnitude and direction) of the plane relative to the ground

643.81

km/h

° (east of south)

(b) how far from its intended position will it be after 10 min if the pilot takes no corrective action. [Hint: First draw a diagram.]
