Montréal is 510 km from Toronto, 12 degrees north of east. At an altitude of 9,000 meters, the windspeed is 80 km/h out of the north. For the entire 510 km, the aircraft flies at 9,000 meters at an airspeed of 300 knots. Draw a triangle whose sides represent the velocity vectors that correspond to the groundspeed, airspeed, and windspeed. Determine:
(a) the aircraft heading (direction in which the nose of the aircraft points), in degrees from north.
(b) the groundspeed of the aircraft, in km/h.
(c) the flight time, in hours.
(This is all of question conditions.. )

2/182 The spotter plane A is flying north with a con- stant speed of 150 km/h at an altitude h= 4.5 km and is 4.5 km from crossing over the course of the aircraft carrier B, which is heading west with a constant speed of 35 knots ( knot 1.852 km/h). For the instant described compute the quantity R as measured from the carrier. 2/183 For the conditions of Prob. 2/182 determine the values of r and θ as measured...

2. An airplane is heading due north at an airspeed of 950 km/h, but there is a constant wind blowing from the northeast at 100 km/h. We will use vectors to work out how far off course the plane is blown, and what its ground speed is. (a) Write down a vector, p, that represents the intended flight path of the plane in one hou. (b) Write down a vector, w, that represents the movement of a particle caught in...
