Solution and Explanation:
The following calculation is made in order to find out the area and the final velocity vector.
Using the given information and the data in the question,
m1u1 + m2u2 = (m1 + m2) multiply with v
40000 multiply with ( -20i ) + 60000 multiply with ( 10j ) = 100000 multiply with v
Therefore, v = -8i + 6j
That is |v| = 10 knots towards the 36.86 degree north of the west
