Let
F1------------------------- > airplane speed 150 mi / h East
F2-------------------------- > wind speed 30 mi / h North
calculate the resultant force R
F1x=150 F1y=0 F2x= 0 F2y=30
Rx=F1x+F2x------------- >150+0 ---------------- >Rx=150
Ry=F1y+F2y------------- >0+30 ---------------- >Rx=30
║R║=√150² 30²=√23400=152.97----- >153 mi/h
tan(theta)=Ry/Rx=30/150=0.20
arctan (0.20)=11.31 degrees-----------11.3 degrees
the answer is
actual speed 153 mi/h and direction 11.3 degrees North-East (I Quadrant)
