b) Juanita is riding her bicycle at a steady pace of 15 km/h in a straight line from
her home to her friend’s place due South of her home. As she rides, the only
wind she feels is directly from the West. She is running a little late so she
increases her speed to 25 km/h. She now feels the wind coming directly from
the South West. If the wind maintains a constant speed and direction throughout
her ride, find the wind’s speed in km/h correct to one decimal place and the
bearing of the wind’s direction to the nearest degree. 3
