Find the magnitude and the direction of the wind velocity


An airplane pilot sets a compass course due west and maintains an airspeed of 214 km/h. After flying for a time of 0.520 h, she finds herself over a town a distance 120 km west and a distance 16 km south of her starting point. a) Find the magnitude and the direction of the wind velocity b) If the wind velocity is 38 km/h due south, in what direction should the pilot set her course to travel due west? Use the same airspeed of 214 km/h.
