The jet transport Bis flying north with a velocity vg = 470 km/h when a smaller aircraft A passes underneath the transport headed in the 68 direction shown. To passengers in B, however, A appears to be flying sideways and moving east. Determine the magnitudes of the actual velocity of A and the velocity which A appears to have relative to B. 68
