+84 A pilot wants to fly on a bearing of 68.9°. By flying due east, she finds that a 50.2-mph wind, blowing from the south, puts her on course. Find the airspeed and the groundspeed of the plane
+36916 Well let's say she flies for ONE hour.....then she should be 50.2 miles north and 1 hour's mph east
Bearing 68.9 is actually 21.1 in our usual coordinate 'plane' (haha)
tan 21.1 = 50.2 / mph mph = 130 mph
