SOLUTION:
Case: Rate
Method:
2/3 of the wind distance is:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{2}{3}\times2400 \\ =1600m \end{gathered}[/tex]
Since the direction is against the wind, the speed with during the wind is:
[tex]\frac{1600\text{ }m}{10\text{ }mins}=16\text{ }m\text{ }per\text{ }min[/tex]
Speed without the wind
[tex]\frac{2400m}{10mins}=24m\text{ }per\text{ }min[/tex]
The rate of the wind is:
24 - 16 = 8 m per min
Final answer:
8 meters per minute
