Thanks! I understood it now. Do you know what the angle between then pVw and wVg vector would be?
Also can you please help me with the continuation of this problem.
Suppose the pilot disregarded the wind and had flown in a direction of 30 degrees N of E. Where relative to his destination would he be when he thought he should be at the destination?
I don't know what you mean by "the angle between the pVw and wVg vector".
For the second part:
The draw the plane vector which is the same as the desired results. At the end of the plane vector, draw the wind vector. That is where the plane will end up. So, for a 1/2 hour flight:
(80 km/h) * (hour/2) at 30 degrees E of S.
or 40km at 30 degrees E of S of the desired destination.
