An airplane is flying 340 km/hr at 12 degrees East of North. The wind is blowing 40 km/hr at 34 degrees South of East. What is the plane’s actual velocity?
\n" ); document.write( "======
\n" ); document.write( "1-hour coordinates::
\n" ); document.write( "x coordinate:: 340*cos(78 deg)+ 40cos(326 deg) = 103.85
\n" ); document.write( "y coordinate:: 340*sin(78 deg) + 40sin(326 deg) = 310.20
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "distance in 1-hour
\n" ); document.write( "d = sqrt[103.85^2+310.20^2] = 327.12 km/hr
