Problem

The wind has a velocity vw=30i^+40j^ km h−1\mathbf{v}_w=30\hat{i}+40\hat{j}\,\text{km h}^{-1} relative to the ground, while an aircraft moves with vp=110i^+20j^ km h−1\mathbf{v}_p=110\hat{i}+20\hat{j}\,\text{km h}^{-1} relative to the ground. The velocity of wind relative to the aircraft is (a) 80i^−20j^ km h−180\hat{i}-20\hat{j}\,\text{km h}^{-1} (b) −80i^−20j^ km h−1-80\hat{i}-20\hat{j}\,\text{km h}^{-1} (c) −80i^+20j^ km h−1-80\hat{i}+20\hat{j}\,\text{km h}^{-1} (d) −80i^+60j^ km h−1-80\hat{i}+60\hat{j}\,\text{km h}^{-1}
