An airplane is heading due south at a speed of 688 km/h If a wind begins blowing from the southwest at a speed of 90 km/h (average), calculate: (a) the velocity (magnitude and direction) of the plane relative to the ground, and (b) how far from its intended position will it be after 11.0 min if the pilot takes no corrective action. [Hint: First draw a diagram.]

(a) VP,G = 628 km/h (b) Dx = 16.5 km  these are the answers I need the prosses.

An airplane with a ground speed of 550 km/hr travels along a heading of 30 degrees N of W. At that high altitude there is a powerful 210 km/hr wind (known as the jet stream) 40 degrees south of west. Determine the direction that the pilot is aiming the plane. The answer key says that the pilot must point 52.4 degrees NofW.
