A plane flies due north from A to B a distance of 1000 km, in a time of 2 hrs. During this time a steady wind, with speed of 150 km/h, is blowing from the south-east. Find the direction in which the plane must be headed.

i hav solved this question, but need more practice in it, so du u have any note for such type of questions, and wat do u call this type of questions, which chapter are these questions frm ???

these are relative velocity questions. i know theyre hard, theyre real b*tches...........anyways
VP=1000/2=500 kmh-1
VW=150 kmh-1
the direction the plane must be steered in is of VP/W
the relative velocity equation is VP=VP/W+VW
refer to diagram attached
theta is the angle that the plane must be steered on
using the cosine rule
cos45=(5002+1502-Vp/w2)/2(500)(150)
Vp/w=407.96kmh-1
using the sine rule
150/sin theta=407.96/sin45
theta=15.1degrees
bearing is 015.1degrees
sorry for the sh*tty diagram but my drawing sucks in Paint
hope this helped

hey slvri, just 1 doubt, isnt 500km/h the velocity of plane relative to wind? because after the wind is blown it moves north rite?

arrey the answer is right. read the quest carefully n u will c that the plane travels 1000 km, and while traveling this distance the wind is also blowing...

therefore there 2 forces acting, 1 of the plane and one of the wind to travel the 1000 km distance.

Now this results in a vector where the total velocity ( 1000/2 = 500 Km/h ) equals the velocity of plane in still air and the velocity of wind.

thus:    this form a triangle as drawn by slrvi where AB is 500Km/h. 

i hope this is clear.

nope.........Vp is the velocity of the plane and its the true or actual speed with which the plane travels........it says that the plane goes north at 500kmh-1 so the true velocity is 500kmh-1

\frac{d}{dx}\left(x^2ln x\right) = 2xln x + x
\int 2xln x+ x\,dx = x^2ln x
\int 2xln x + \int x = x^2ln x
\int 2xln x = x^2ln x - \frac{x^2}{2}
2\int xln x = x^2ln x - \frac{x^2}{2}
2* 2\int xln x = 2 * x^2ln x - \frac{x^2}{2}
4\int xln x = 2x^2lnx - x^2
\int 4xln x = 2x^2lnx - x^2
applying the limits
^e_1(\int 4xln x) = 2e^2 - e^2 - 0 - 1
^e_1(\int 4xln x) = e^2 + 1
