A navigator on a plane knows that the plane's velocity through the air is 250 km/h on a bearing of 237˚ measured clockwise from north. By observing the motion of the plane's shadow across the ground, she finds to her surprise that the plane's ground speed is only 52 km/h, and its direction is along a bearing of 15˚. She realizes that ground velocity is the vector sum of the plane's air velocity and the wind's velocity. What wind velocity...

A plane is capable of flying at a speed of 180 km/h in still air. The pilot takes off from an airfield and heads due north according to the planes compass. After 30 mins of flight time, the pilot notices that, due to the wind the plane has actually traveled 80km at an angle of 5 degrees east of north. What is the wind's velocity vector? Make a diagram, show step by step clearly and the reasoning of each step.
