Honors

You should be able to do AP Worksheet 3 problem 2. Remember that velocity of plane as seen from ground is velocity of plane as seen the by air plus velocity of air to ground ( i.e. wind velocity). All addition is by components. Keep in mind that the velocity of the plane with respect to the ground has a zero component in the North direction. Use this to find the north component of the plane's airspeed and then use that to find the angle of the plane's air speed.
