An air craft attempt too fly due north at 100 kmh-1. If the wind blows against it from east to west at 60 kmh-1, its resultant velocity is
A
117 kmh-1, N31oE
B
127 kmh-1, N31oE
C
117 kmh-1, N31oW
D
127 kmh-1, N31oW
correct option: c

R2 = 1002 + 602

10000 + 3600 = 13600

R = √13600 = 117km

60kml & = tan = 60/100

tan-1 0.6

= 31o west of the North

117km N31ow
