A bomber plane moves due east at 100 km ...

A bomber plane moves due east at `100 km h^-1` over a town `T` at a certain instant of time. Six minutes later, an interceptor plane sets off flying due north - east from the station `S` which is `40 km` south of `T`. If both maintain their courses, find the velocity with which the interceptor plane must fly in order to just overtake the bomber.

A jetliner can fly 6.00 hours on a full load of fuel. Without any wind it flies at a speed of 2.40xx10^(2)m//s . The plane is to make a round-trip by heading due west for a certain distance, turning around, and then heading due east for the return trip. During the entire flight, however, the plane encounters a 57.8 m/s wind from the jet stream, which blows from west to east. What is the maximum distance that the plane can travel due west and just be able to return home?

The wind is blowing at 50 km/h directed 30^(@) east of north, while the palne moves at 200 km/h relative to the wind . What is the velocity of the plane relative to the ground and what is the direction in which the pilot points the palne ?
