Question (1): Velocity triangles. For the velocity triangle shown, determine the values of $C_1$, $W_1$, $C_2$ and $W_2$, if you know that $U_1 = 150 \ m/s$, $U_2 = 100 \ m/s$, $\alpha_1 = 60^\circ$, $\beta_1 = 20^\circ$, $\alpha_2 = 10^\circ$ and $\beta_2 = 45^\circ$. Parameter Answer $C_1$ $W_1$ $C_2$ $W_2$

V is the resultant of two velocities, v1 and v2. v1 has magnitude 3ms and direction 150 (anticlockwise rotation from the x-direction). v2 has magnitude 10 ms and direction theta. Given that the direction of V is 90 degrees, calculate the value of theta and the magnitude of V
