A yacht is traveling where there is a current of .20 m/s east. To avoid some offshore rocks, the yacht must clear buoy that is NNE (22.5^o) and 3.0 kilometer away. The yacht's speed through still water is 2.1 m/s. If the yacht wants to pass the buoy.15 kilometer on its right, determine at what angle should the yacht head?
