An airplane flies with a speed of 250 km / h with respect to the air. A wind blows at 80 km / h from the ground with a direction at 60 ° above the horizontal a) In which direction should the plane fly so that its direction is directly north? b) In that case, what will be the speed of the plane relative to the ground?
