Let $\vec v_{P/G}$ denote the vector for velocity of the plane relative to the ground, and $v_{P/G}$ the corresponding speed. The pilot wants to be heading due north, taking the effect of the wind into account, so that this vector has components

$\vec v_{P/G}=v_{P/G}\,\vec\jmath$

The wind (denoted by for air) is blowing from the northeast, which means its direction is southwest, so that the vector for its velocity relative to the ground is

$\vec v_{A/G}=\left(40\,\dfrac{\rm km}{\rm h}\right)\cos225^\circ\,\vec\imath+\left(40\,\dfrac{\rm km}{\rm h}\right)\sin225^\circ\,\vec\jmath$

The plane has an airspeed of 120 km/h, but its direction $\theta$ is unknown, so the vector for its velocity relative to the air is

$\vec v_{P/A}=\left(120\,\dfrac{\rm km}{\rm h}\right)\cos\theta\,\vec\imath+\left(120\,\dfrac{\rm km}{\rm h}\right)\sin\theta\,\vec\jmath$

We have

$\vec v_{P/G}=\vec v_{P/A}+\vec v_{A/G}$

The $\vec\imath$ components tell us that we should have

$\left(120\,\dfrac{\rm km}{\rm h}\right)\cos\theta+\left(40\,\dfrac{\rm km}{\rm h}\right)\cos\225^\circ=0\implies\theta=76.4^\circ\text{ or }\theta=284^\circ$

(both relative to east) By drawing a diagram like the one attached, you'll see that the smaller angle is the correct choice. Then by matching the $\vec\jmath$ components, we can solve for $v_{P/G}$ :

$v_{P/G}=\left(120\,\dfrac{\rm km}{\rm h}\right)\sin76.4^\circ+\left(40\,\dfrac{\rm km}{\rm h}\right)\sin225^\circ\approx88\,\dfrac{\rm km}{\rm h}$

Answer from: Quest

electromagnetic shielding is the practice of reducing the electromagnetic field in a space by blocking the field with barriers made of conductive or magnetic materials. shielding is typically applied to enclosures to isolate electrical devices from their surroundings, and to cables to isolate wires from the environment through which the cable runs. electromagnetic shielding that blocks radio frequency electromagnetic radiation is also known as rf shielding.

the shielding can reduce the coupling of radio waves, electromagnetic fields and electrostatic fields. a conductive enclosure used to block electrostatic fields is also known as a faraday cage. the amount of reduction depends very much upon the material used, its thickness, the size of the shielded volume and the frequency of the fields of interest and the size, shape and orientation of apertures in a shield to an incident electromagnetic
