A plane moves due east while the pilot points the plane somewhat south of east, toward a steady wind that blows to the northeast. The plane has velocity vecv_(PW) relative to the wind, with an airspeed (speed relative to the wind) of 215 km/h, directed at angle theta south of east. The wind has velocity vecv_(WG) is relative to the ground with speed 65.0 km/h, directed 20.0^@ cast of north. What is the magnitude of the velocity vec_(PG) of the plane relative to the ground, and what is theta ?
