An airplane has a speed of 600 km h
−1
with respect to air. It has to fly a distance of 800 km
northward. In what direction should it fly if a steady wind is blowing at a speed of
120 km h
−1
from the west? What will its speed with respect to the ground be? Draw the
relevant diagram for your calculations.
