Chapter 7.2, Problem 41PS

For Problems 37 through 42, use your knowledge of bearing, heading, and true course to sketch a diagram that will help you solve each problem.

Speed and Direction A plane has an airspeed of 195 miles per hour and a heading of 30.0°. The ground speed of the plane is 207 miles per hour, and its true course is in the direction of 34.0°. Find the speed and direction of the air currents, assuming they are constants.

Students have asked these similar questions
To a cyclist travelling due north along a straight road at 10km/h, the wind appears to come from the east. When he increases his speed to 15km/h, the wind appears to come from the direction N67°E. Find the speed and the direction of the wind over the ground.
A plane is flying with an airspeed of 160 mph and heading of 150º. The wind currents are running at 35 mph at 160º clockwise from due north. Find the ground speed of the plane to the nearest hundredth.
There is a wind of 35 mi/h from 320°. Find the airspeed in order that the groundspeed and course be 250 mi/h and 40°, respectively.
