Katherine goes on an adventure to the tower beyond the Aguna forest. She starts her trip by travelling 25 km 45 degrees south of east and camps to spend the night. On the next day, Katherine continues her journey by following 60 degrees north of east, which is 40 km long, and finally reaches the tower. Determine the magnitude and direction of Katherine’s resultant displacement. Also, express the resultant displacement in terms of unit vectors.
