speed with the wind is 3300/5.5 or 600 mph
\n" ); document.write( "speed against the wind is 2530/5.5 or 460 mph
\n" ); document.write( "s+w=600
\n" ); document.write( "s-w=460
\n" ); document.write( "2s=1060
\n" ); document.write( "s=530 mph in still air.
\n" ); document.write( "The wind, w, is 70 mph.
\n" ); document.write( "
