Two sailboats are approaching a harbor

Reference no: EM13562259

Two sailboats are approaching a harbor. The velocity of the sloop relative to the schooner is 2.80 m/s in a direction 40.0° east of north. If the sloop has a velocity that is 0.730 m/s due north relative to the harbor, what is the velocity (magnitude and direction) of the schooner relative to the harbor?
