An ocean liner heading west at 25 km/hr comes into a current of 15.0 km/hr directed 30 degrees north of east. Find the new velocity of the liner. \n" ); document.write( "---------------- \n" ); document.write( "Heading west is 270 degs \n" ); document.write( "30 degrees north of east is 060 degs \n" ); document.write( "----- \n" ); document.write( "Makes a triangle with sides of 25 and 15 with an included angle of 30 degs. \n" ); document.write( "The resultant speed is the 3rd side of the triangle. \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "Draw the 25 side originating at the Origin. \n" ); document.write( "The resultant heading is 270 degs + the angle at the Origin. \n" ); document.write( "================== \n" ); document.write( "PS Boats don't use km/hr, the use knots for speed. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
