3. When a man walks due West at a constant speed of \(4 \mathrm {~km} \mathrm {~h} ^ { - 1 }\), the wind appears to be blowing from due South. When he runs due North at a constant speed of \(8 \mathrm {~km} \mathrm {~h} ^ { - 1 }\), the speed of the wind appears to be \(5 \mathrm {~km} \mathrm {~h} ^ { - 1 }\).
The velocity of the wind relative to the Earth is constant with magnitude \(w \mathrm {~km} \mathrm {~h} ^ { - 1 }\).
Find the two possible values of \(w\).
