The one assumption I think we all can make is that the wind speed is zero.
NYM- OK, we can all agree that windspeed = 0.
Do you make any assumptions about what kind of plane we're talking about? Is it a Harrier? Is it a 737? A Cessna? How about a WWI biplane?
If you can't make any assumptions, then your answer to the question "Can the plane take off" must be: "I cannot answer without more information," and not "The plane won't take off."
