An airplane is heading due east. The airspeed indicator shows that the plane is moving at a speed of 370 km/h relative to the air. If the wind is blowing from the north at 92.5 km/h, the velocity of the airplane relative to the ground is

370 E and 92.5 S
|v| = sqrt (370^2 + 92.5^2)
tan angle south of east = 92.5/370 = 0.25
angle south of east = 14 deg
angle clockwise from north = 90 + 14 = 104 deg True
