Question

a ship is headed towards east at a thrust speed of 7.00 knots. A strong wind pressure causes the ship to deviate to the north at 1.00 knots. The sea current is flowing to the southwest at 4.00 knots. Determine the velocity of the ship relative to the earth's surface.

Answer 1

V = 1[90o] + 4[225o].
V = (1*Cos90+4*Cos225)+(1*sin90+4*sin225)I = (0+2.83) + (1-2.83)I = 2.83 - 1.83i = 3.37n[-32.9o] = 3.37n[32.9o S. of E].

Is there other solution for this question? Thanks
