Chapter 7.2, Problem 42PS
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 The airspeed and heading of a plane are 140 miles per hour and 130°, respectively. If the ground speed of the plane is 135 miles per hour and its true course is 137°, find the speed and direction of the wind currents assuming they are constants

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 pilot sets out from an airport and heads in the direction N 20° E, flying at 200 mph. After one hour, he makes a course correction and heads in the direction N 40° E. Half an hour later, engine trouble forces him to make anemergency landing. Find the distance between the airport and his final landing point.
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.
