Answer:
Vp = velocity of plane
Vpx = Vp cos 55 = 8 * .57 = 4.59 m/s velocity of plane along x-axis
Vpy = Vp sin 55 = 8 * .82 = 6.55 m/s velocity of plane along y-axis
If Wx = -3 m/s then
Vx = 4.59 - 3 = 1.59 m/s
Vy = 6.55 m/s wind does not affect vertical speed
tan theta = Vy / Vx = 6.55 / 1,59 = 4.12
theta = 76.4 deg above x-axis
V = (1.59^2 + 6.55^2)^1/2 = 6.74 m/s
