16. The navigator of an airplane plans a flight from one airport to another 1500.0 km away, in one direction 30° east of north. The weather office informs him of a prevailing wind from the west, of 75.0 km/h. The pilot wants to maintain an air speed of 300 km/h. Draw a diagram (a] What heading should the navigator give the pilot? (b] How long will the flight take? (c) How much time did the wind save?

In an attempt to escape a desert island, a castaway builds a raft and sets out to sea. The wind shifts a great deal during the day and he is blown along the following directions: 2.50 km and 45.0 north of west, then 4.70 km and 60.0 south of east, then 1.30 km and 25.0 south of west, then 5.10 km straight east, then 1.70 km and 5.00 east of north, then 7.20 km and 55.0 south of west, and finally 2.80 km and 10.0 north of east. Use a graphical method to find the castaway’s final position relative to the island.
