Detailed Solution

Applying Sine law in ABC, we have

An aeroplane has to go from a point A to another point B, 500 km away due 30^@  east of north. Wind is blowing due north at a speed of 20 m//s.

150sin30°=ysinθ=20sin150°-θ

From and third, we have,

sin150°-θ=20sin30°150=115 150°-θ=sin-1115

An aeroplane has to go from a point A to another point B, 500 km away due 30^@  east of north. Wind is blowing due north at a speed of 20 m//s.

Hence, we can see that direction of 150 ms-1 is 150°-θ or sin-1115, east of the line AB.
