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?

An old lady, to maintain her health during morning walk, covers three displacements. The first has a magunitude of 200 m and makes an angle of 110 with the positive x axis. She covers second displacement wich has magnitude of 300 m at an angle of 20 west of south and then she covees third displacement. The resultant displacement has magunitude of 420 m and is direct at an angle of 45.0 to the positive x axis. Find the magunitude and direction of third displacement

1. You are trying to find your family's hidden treasure by your ancestor using a map. The map says that starting from your house, first, you need to walk 3.00m, East. After that, you again walk 3.00m, 60O N of E. Then go 2.00m North. And finally move 4.00m, 300 S of W. If the treasure's location is the resultant vector. Find the magnitude and direction of the treasure. (Use component method)
