Step-by-step Answer:

For both problems, we need the results of vector arithmetic.

Q13

The resultant motion is the sum of the two vector, boat and current.

Sum of the x-components:

Vx=20cos(45)-6cos(60)=11.142

Vy=20sin(45)-6sin(60)=8.946

Magnitude = sqrt(Vx^2+Vy^2)=14.29 knots

Angle arctan(Vy/Vx)=arctan(8.946/11.142)=arctan(0.803)=38.76 degrees (from the x-axis) i.e. 39 degrees north of east.

Expressed in East of north, it is 90-39=51 degrees east of north.


Q14

V=velocity of airplane (vector)=570 mph due east=<-570,0>

W=velocity of wind (vector)

V+W=velocity with wind = 581 mph 87 degrees W of N

= < -581sin(87), 581cos(87)>

Velocity of wind = (V+W) - V

=<-581sin(87)-(-570), 581cos(87)-0>

=< -10.2, 30.4>

Magnitude = sqrt((-10.2)^2+30.4^2)=32.07

direction = atan(30.4/(-10.2)) = 90-71.45=18.55 degrees west of north.
