Question 982573: Flying to Kampala with a tailwind a plane averaged 158km/h. On the return trip the plane only averaged 112km/h while flying back into the same wind. Find the speed of the wind and find the speed of the plane in still air. Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Flying to Kampala with a tailwind a plane averaged 158km/h. On the return trip the plane only averaged 112km/h while flying back into the same wind. Find the speed of the wind and find the speed of the plane in still air
===================
Find the 2 groundspeeds, downwind and upwind.
The plane's airspeed is the average of the 2.
------------
windspeed = difference between airspeed and groundspeed.
