Concept explainers
To find: The new ground speed and the direction.
Answer to Problem 25E
The new ground velocity is
Explanation of Solution
The angle made by the plane with the positive x axis is calculated as,
The component form of a
Thus, the velocity vector is,
Now the tail wind acts in the direction
The velocity vector is,
The resultant velocity vector is calculated as,
The magnitude of the velocity vector is calculated as,
The direction is calculated as,
Therefore, the new ground velocity is
