Question
It takes a golfer a total of three strokes to put the ball in the hole. The displacements of the three strokes are as follows:
d1 = 4.10 m
the north,
d2 = 1.90 m
northeast, and
d3 = 1.10 m
at
θ = 25.0°
west of south, as shown in the figure. If the golfer had made the hole in a single shot, what would be the displacement of the ball? (Assume the positive y- and x-axes are in the north and east directions, respectively. Give the magnitude of your answer in meters and the direction in degrees north of east.)
