The airplane then encounters wind blowing at a steady 30 mph in a direction 85° north of east. Yes a. Start by drawing a vector diagram for this situation. Did you draw a diagram? Great! Your diagram might look something like this: Wind New Path Original Path b. If the pilot does not correct his course after encountering the wind, at what speed and in what direction (counterclockwise from east) will the plane be traveling? # mph Preview i. Speed: Preview c. If the airplane had encountered no wind at all, it would have reached its final destination in two hours along its original course. Assuming the pilot never corrected his course and that the wind continues to blow at the given speed and direction, how far from its final destination is the airplane after two hours of flying under the given conditions? ii. Direction: ]u miles Preview
