Lindsay has to fly this plane towards this direction [W 12.5° S] to get to Hamilton.
From this question, the plane is still up in the air.
We have wind blowing in [W 60° N ]
To solve the problem we have to make use of the sine rule
We put the values in the equation, we have:
50/Sinθ = 200/sin60°
The next step is to cross multiply
50 x sin60° = 200Sinθ
50 x 0.8660 = 200sinθ
We make Sin θ the subject
Sine θ = 43.30/200
sine θ = 0.2165
we find the value of θ
θ = sine⁻¹(0.2165)
θ = 12.50
So Lindsay has to fly this plane towards this direction
[W 12.5° S]

Explanation:
Expression for escape velocity
ve =
ve² R / 2 = GM
M is mass of the planet , R is radius of the planet .
At distance r >> R , potential energy of object
=
Since the object is at rest at that point , kinetic energy will be zero .
Total mechanical energy = + 0 =
Putting the value of GM = ve² R / 2
Total mechanical energy = ve² Rm / 2 r
This mechanical energy will be conserved while falling down on the earth due to law of conservation of mechanical energy . So at surface of the earth , total mechanical energy
= ve² Rm / 2 r
