if you still need this i'll take a shot at it..
I drew this a free body diagram of this
You should get a triangle when you do this
where 228 is your hypothenuse is 228
so the formula to to find the missing side is
c^2=a^2+c^2
where c=228
and a=50
so the missing side b = 222.45
So using the triogonometry
cos^-1(222.45/228) = 12.667 degrees
and speed relative to the ground is the missing side
222.45 km/h
The pilot of an aircraft wishes to fly due
west in a 50.0 km/h wind blowing toward
the south. The speed of the aircraft in the absence of a wind is 228 km/h.
a) How many degrees from west should the
aircraft head? Let clockwise be positive.
Answer in units of degrees.
b) What should the plane’s speed be relative to the ground? Answer in units of km/h
