110PRACTICE PROBLEM
Sam is flying an aerobatic plane on a windy day. The wind's speed is 30 mph and blowing from the south. The plane is flying at a speed of 212 mph and Sam wants its flying path to be on a bearing of 61° 20'. Determine the ground speed of the plane and the bearing he should fly to stay on that path.
