Lindsay is planning a flight from St. Catherines to Hamilton, which lies due west of St. Catharines.
Her aircraft flies at a speed of 200 km/h in still air. A wind of 50.0 km/h is blowing from [W 60.0° N].
In what direction must she aim the aeroplane to fly directly to Hamilton? (KU, TI)

Sagot :

Lindsay should fly the plane in the direction [W 12.5° S] to get Hamilton.

Using Sine rule to solve this question

Sine rule => SinA/a = SinB/b = SinC/c = constant

The magnitude of wind is 50 with an angle of 60 degrees.

The magnitude of plane is 200 and the angle at which it should fly is unknown and should be θ.

One side is 50 km/hr at an angle of 60 degrees.

sin 60°/200 = sin θ / 50

50 × sin 60° = 200 × sin θ

√3/2 = 4 × sin θ

√3/8 = sin θ

sin θ = 0.2165

θ = sin⁻¹(0.2165)

θ = 12.5°

So Lindsay have to fly the plane in the direction of [W 12.5° S].
