an airplane has a speed of 600km/h with respect to air . it has to fly a distance of 800kmnorthward . in what direction should it fly if a steady wind blowing at the speed of 120km/h from west?what will its speed with respect to the ground be ? draw the relevant diagram for the calculations | |||||||||||||

So accordingly put the vectors acc to directions and then U will be able to get to the answer of your question.

the plane should fly in the northwest direction from the right angled diagram ,,,,,,600km/h is a resultant of velocity 120km/h 600^2=120^2+v^2 v^2=345600 v=587.90km/h and direction resultant is given by sin(theta)=120/600 theta=sin(120/600) theta=11.54 (degrees)
speed wrt to ground=600cos(theta) = 600cos(11.54)=600*0.51=306km/h
hope its the way it should be correct me if im wrong |

hey brother still wrong
we do not know the resultant velocity towards north
v^2 = 600^2 + 120^2 + 2(600)(120)cos(theta)
