A pilot sets his airspeed to 500 km/h on a heading of North 65 degrees East . A strong wind is blowing 55 km/h in the direction of South 40 degrees East . Draw a position diagram to illustrate the word problem. Draw a vector diagram using the vectors in the problem to illustrate a vector representing the ground speed relative to earth.Determine the ground speed (to one decimal place) and the direction of the airplane relative to the ground (to the nearest whole degree). State the direction using quadrant bearings.
