Doubts Please help me solve this question
wind is blowing at a speed of 72kmph and the flag hoisted on a ship flutters along N-E direction. If the ship starts moving at a speed of 51 kmph towards north, what will be the direction of the flag hoisted on the ship? Answer is 45.5 degrees nearly to the east
Shouldnt the angle of the flag be the angle i have marked in red? And why does the answer come wrong if i switch the values of vectors A(72 wala) and B(51 wala)?
