An airplane pilot sets a compass course due west and maintains an airspeed of 218 km/h. After flying for a time of 0.470 h, she finds herself over a town distance 121 km west and a distance 13 km south of her starting point.
(a) Find the magnitude of the wind velocity [in km/h].
(b) Find the direction of the wind velocity [° south of west].
(c) If the wind velocity is 35 km/hr due south, in what direction [° north of west] should the pilot set her course to travel due west? Use the same airspeed of 218 km/h.
