A plane is flying to a city 696 km directly north of its initial location. The plane maintains a speed of 178 km/h relative to the air during its flight. (a) If the plane flies through a constant headwind blowing south at 55.5 km/h, how much time (in h) will it take to reach the city? (b) If instead the plane flies through a constant tailwind blowing at 55.5 km/h, how much time (in h) will it take to reach the city? h (c) If instead the plane flies through a constant crosswind blowing east at 55.5 km/h, how much time (in h) will it take to reach the city?
