Having a little bit of trouble with this and not sure if my findings\thoughts are right and would like some insight.
If a boat is traveling south at 10 km/h and a person on the deck measures the wind velocity to be 8 km/h east, would the actual wind velocity (velocity of wind relative to the ground) still be 8 km/h east or would the answer be resolved by drawing a vector diagram and having a velocity roughly 6 km/h at heading 53 degrees east of south??
Haven't been able to find a definitive answer in correlation to this problem and not sure if I'm over-examining the question or not.
Appreciate any insight.
Thanks
