Find the direction and magnitude of the wind velocity

Reference no: EM13660968

A bicyclist finds that when he is moving at 10 m/s along a south bound bicycle trail that a small piece of paper carried on the wind appears, relative to him, to come from the south east toward the northwest at 20 m/s. Find the direction and magnitude of the wind velocity relative to the earth?
