Finding the Actual Speed and Direction of an Aircraft A Boeing 747 jumbo jet maintains a constant airspeed of 550 miles per hour (mi/hr) headed due north. The jet stream is 100 mi/hr in the northeasterly direction.
(a) Express the velocity of the 747 relative to the air and the velocity of the jet stream in terms of i and j.
(b) Find the velocity of the 747 relative to the ground.
(c) Find the actual speed and direction of the 747 relative to the ground.
Truck Pull At a county fair truck pull, two pickup trucks are attached to the back end of a monster truck as illustrated in the figure. One of the pickups pulls with a force of pounds and the other pulls with a force of pounds with an angle of between them. With how much force must the monster truck pull in order to remain unmoved?
[Hint: Find the resultant force of the two trucks.]
