3. A plane flies from Toronto to Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh is 350 km due south of Toronto. The plane's airspeed is 400.0 km/h and a steady wind is blowing from the east at 60.0 km/h. a. What direction must the pilot point the plane flying from Toronto to Pittsburgh? Include a vector diagram of velocities Toronto 350 km Pittsburgh b. Determine the plane's velocity relative to the ground. c. How long is this flight (duration), from Toronto to Pittsburgh? d. If the plane then flies from Pittsburgh to Philadelphia, 390 km to the east, how long will this part of the trip take? Again, a steady wind is blowing from the east at 60.0 km/h and the plane has the same airspeed of 400.0 km/h.
