A sailboat is heading directly north at a speed of 20 knots (1 knot= 0.514 m/s). The wind is blowing towards the east with a speed of17 knots.
(a) Determine the magnitude and direction of the wind velocity asmeasured on the boat. magnitude 1 knots
direction 2
50° north of east
50° south of east
30° north of east
50° west of north
.
(b) What is the component of the wind velocity in the directionparallel to the motion of the boat?
3 knots
