2/195 A bicyclist rides along the hard-packed sand beach with a speed \(v_B = 16 \text{ mi/hr}\) as indicated. The wind speed is \(v_W = 20 \text{ mi/hr}\). (a) Determine the velocity of the wind relative to the bicyclist. (b) At what speed \(v_B\) would the bicyclist feel the wind coming directly from her left (perpendicular to her path)? What would be this relative speed?
π Solution Approach
Given: 195 A
Find: (a) Determine the velocity of the wind relative to the bicyclist; (b) At what speed \
