A commercial aircraft is going from JFK Airport to Ohare Airport at a cruising speed of 650 km/h measured relative to the surrounding air. A wind is blowing with a speed of 250 km/h from the south. The vector diagram illustrates the direction that the pilot should direct the aircraft so that its velocity relative to the ground is due west. Find the speed of the aircraft relative to the ground.
