Can someone give me pointers in setting up the illustration
Can someone give me pointers in setting up the illustration for the word problems.
Thank you
A plane flying with an air speed of 195 mph is headed southwest bearing 190 .Tha ground speed of the airplane is 215 mph with a true course of 2250. Find the drif angle and speed of the wind Solution
ground speed = | speed of wind + speed of plane |
let speed of wind = x
215 = | x + 195 |
215 ^2 = x^2 + 195^2
x = 90.55
speed of wind is 90.55 mph
drift angle is = | heading - course |
= | 190 - 225 |
drift angle = 35 degrees
