Detailed Solution

Applying Sine law in $∆ A B C$ , 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.

$\frac{150}{\sin 30 °} = \frac{y}{\sin θ} = \frac{20}{\sin (150 ° - θ)}$

From and third, we have,

$\sin (150 ° - θ) = \frac{20 \sin 30 °}{150} = \frac{1}{15} 150 ° - θ = \sin^{- 1} (\frac{1}{15})$

Hence, we can see that direction of 150 ms^-1 is $150 ° - θ [or \sin^{- 1} (\frac{1}{15})]$ , east of the line AB.
