Solve the all parts of given question:

Question: The Gulf Stream off the east coast of the United States can flow at a rapid 3.4m/s to the north. A ship in this current has a cruising speed of 10m/s. The captain would like to reach land at a point due west from the current position.

Part A: In what direction with respect to the water should the ship sail?

Part B: At this heading, what is the ship's speed with respect to land?

Please do a step by step solution since I'm kind of lost with this question.
