During aviation training, a jet fighter is traveling due north. The pilot reads the ASI (airspeed indicator) as 70 m/s. Unfortunately, the weather is considerably harsh and the jet is subjected to a strong wind blowing toward the northeast direction at a speed of 27 m/s. Which of the following vector-addition diagrams shows the correct relationship between vJ/E (jet velocity relative to the earth) and the two vectors?
