A ship moves along the equator to the east with velocity v0=30 kmh−1v_0 = 30 \text{ kmh}^{-1}. The southeastern wind blows at an angle ϕ=60∘\phi = 60^\circ to the equator with velocity v=15 kmh−1v = 15 \text{ kmh}^{-1}. Find the wind velocity v′v' relative to the ship and the angle ϕ′\phi' between the equator and the wind direction in the reference frame fixed to the ship.
