To find the magnitude and direction of the combined speed of the plane, we need to

use vector addition.

First, we need to resolve the velocity of the wind into its horizontal and vertical
components.

The horizontal component of the wind is given by:

30 km/hr x cos(60°) = 15 km/hr

The vertical component of the wind is given by:

30 km/hr x sin(60°) = 25.98 km/hr (rounded to two decimal places)

Now, we can add the horizontal component of the wind to the speed of the plane to
get the horizontal component of the combined velocity.

Horizontal component of the combined velocity = 300 km/hr + 15 km/hr = 315 km/hr

Next, we can add the vertical component of the wind to the speed of the plane to
get the vertical component of the combined velocity.

Vertical component of the combined velocity = 0 km/hr + 25.98 km/hr = 25.98 km/hr

Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can find the magnitude of the combined velocity:

Magnitude of the combined velocity = sqrt((315 km/hr)^2 + (25.98 km/hr)^2) ≈ 316.5

km/hr

To find the direction of the combined velocity, we can use trigonometry.

tan(theta) = (25.98 km/hr) / (315 km/hr)

theta = tan^-1(25.98 / 315) ≈ 4.67°

Therefore, the magnitude of the combined speed is approximately 316.5 km/hr and the
direction is approximately 4.67 degrees (rounded to two decimal places) above the
horizontal.
