A pilot is required to fly directly from London, United Kingdom, to Rome, Italy, in 3.4 h. The displacement is 1400 km [S 43 E]. The wind velocity reported from the ground is 55 km/h [S]. Determine the required velocity of the plane relative to the air. Please show me how you would draw the diagram
