A plane has a heading relative to the air of speed 121 m/s and direction 23.5° East of North. The air is moving relative to the ground with wind speed 49 m/s and direction 33.4° North of West.
a) If the plane is flying at an altitude of 5560 m and drops a package directly above a city, what distance away from the city will the package land?
(b) If the plane begins a journey from one city to another located 195 km away in these wind condition, then how far from their destination will the plane be once they have traveled the amount of time it would take to get to the city without wind? Note that the straight path between the cities is the exact heading of the plane relative to the air.
