Consider an airplane flying in still air at a velocity of 150 miles per hour northward. In part 1 of the figure below, a 3-cm arrow represents this velocity. Now a wind starts blowing toward the south east at a speed of 50 mi/hr-quite a wind! The second part of the figure shows this 50-mi/hr wind. In part 3, one arrow is moved so that its tail falls on the head of the other. Assume that the angle between the two lines is 900
Please find the results of the below statements
- 1 cm = (1)lb
- The length of the wind vector in drawing (cm) = (2)
- Approximated net force in (lb) = (3)
