During an enrollment process, an MS student wandered inside the school campus. From the gate, he walked 150 m northward towards the office of the department. From there, he proceeds to the admission office 300 m, 5.00' south of east. He then moved 200 m, at 165 to the cashier to pay for his tuition. Lastly, he went to the Registrar's Office walking 125 m directed at 50' west of north. What is the magnitude and direction of the student's displacement from the school gate?
