The captain of a plane wishes to proceed due west. the cruising speed of the plane is 226 m/s relative to the air. a weather report indicates that a 31.0-m/s wind is blowing from the south to the north. in what direction, measured with respect to due west, should the pilot head the plane?

South of West

Explanation:

We can assume that the cruising speed relative to the air is the same relative to the ground due west.

because the wind will exert a velocity due north, we have to modify our direction in order to avoid that velocity (Vw).

The angle is given by:

from the west, that is [tex]7.81^o[\tex] South of West

the answer is 3.1 his answer is wrong mines is right
