Problem

Starting from point OO, a boat sails successively along three displacement vectors: (i) 8 km8\,\text{km} due east, (ii) 5 km5\,\text{km} at 30∘30^{\circ} north of east, (iii) 6 km6\,\text{km} due north. (a) Find the magnitude of the resultant displacement from OO. (b) Determine the angle this resultant makes with the east direction, correct to the nearest degree. a. Find the magnitude of the resultant displacement from OO. b. Determine the angle this resultant makes with the east direction, correct to the nearest degree.
