East motion
x = 68 *33/60 * 68 sin 40 *30/60 - 68 *59/60
= 68* -.112 = -7.61 km east
North motion
68 * cos 40 * 33/60 = 28.7 km north
tan angle west of north = 7.61/28.7
so
angle west of north = 14.9
angle from East = 90 + 14.9 = 104.9
x = 68 *33/60 * 68 sin 40 *30/60 - 68 *59/60
= 68* -.112 = -7.61 km east
