nstruments in airplane A indicate that with respect to the air, the plane is head horth of east with an airspeed of 300 mi/h. At the same time radar on ship B inc that the relative velocity of the plane with respect to the ship is 280 mi/h in the direction 33° north of east. Knowing that the ship is steaming due south at 12 m determine (a) the velocity of the airplane, (b) the wind speed and direction.
