    The vector quantity is completely described by its magnitude and direction. An airplane is flying east at 92 m/s in still air. A wind starts blowing north at 24 m/s. A vector diagram is drawn to scale to find the resultant velocity. The resultant speed is found to be 100 m/s at an angle of 30 degrees northeast from the original easterly direction.

    (b) An aeroplane is flying towards the east in still air at 92 m / s. A wind starts to blow at
    24 m / s towards the north.

    Draw a vector diagram to find the resultant velocity of the aeroplane. Use a scale of
    1.0 cm = 10 m / s.

    resultant speed = ......................................................

    angle between resultant and easterly direction = ......................................................
