Please help me w this question, thank you, full solutions. Captain Cho and Brown have been hired to pilot their new aircraft, MATHways. On one particularsunny day, Captain Cho and Brown are headed to the Maldives. To arrive there, they decided totravel at an airspeed of 500 km/h at a heading of [N70°E]. However, a wind coming from [S 30°E]impedes their flight at a speed of 90 km/h.Determine the ground velocity. Remember to quote both the speed and direction relative to thevertical.

Step 1: Represent the airspeed and wind velocity as vectors:Airspeed vector: 500 km/h at a heading…
