An aeroplane pilot wishes to fly due west A wind of `100 km h^-1` is blowing towards south.
(a) If the speed of the plane (its speed in still air) is `300 km h^-1` in which direction should the pilot head ?
(b) What is the speed of the plane with respect tom ground ? Illustrate with a vector diagram.
