Asked by J

A pilot wants to fly west. If the plane has an airspeed of 95 m/s and there is a 25 m/s wind blowing north, in what directions must she steer the plane?
Answered by oobleck
draw the velocity triangle. She must steer south of west, by an angle θ
where sinθ = 25/95
so, she must fly W15.25°S

extra credit: what is her westward speed?
