Answer to Question #61937 in Mechanics | Relativity for Grace

Question

The velocity of the wind relative to the water is crucial to sailboats. Suppose a sailboat is in an ocean current that has a velocity of 2.01 m/s in a direction 25.1° east of north relative to the Earth. It encounters a wind that has a velocity of 4.93 m/s in a direction of 50.2° south of west relative to the Earth. What is the velocity of the wind relative to the water? (Enter the magnitude in m/s and the direction in degrees south of west.)
