Answer:
The true course: north of east
The ground speed of the plane: 96.68 m/s
Explanation:
Given:
= velocity of wind =
= velocity of plane in still air =
Assume:
= resultant velocity of the plane
= direction of the plane with the east
Since the resultant is the vector addition of all the vectors. So, the resultant velocity of the plane will be the vector sum of the wind velocity and the plane velocity in still air.
Let us find the direction of this resultant velocity with respect to east direction:
This means the the true course of the plane is in the direction of north of east.
The ground speed will be the magnitude of the resultant velocity of the plane.
Hence, the ground speed of the plane is 96.68 km/h.
