The speedboat B is cruising to the north at 83 mi/hr when it encounters an eastward current of speed vc = 20 mi/hr but does not change its heading (relative to the water). Determine the subsequent velocity of the boat relative to the wind and express your result as a magnitude vrel and compass direction 0 measured clockwise from north. The current affects the motion of the boat; the southwesterly wind of speed vw = 23 mi/hr does not. 34 B Answers: Vrel = mi/hr i
