Chapter 1, Problem 1.64P
A sailor in a small sailboat encounters shifting winds. She sails 2.00 km cast, next 3.50 km southeast, and then an additional distance in an unknown direction. Her final position is 5.80 km directly cast of the starting point (Fig. P1.64). Find the magnitude and direction of the third leg of the journey. Draw the vector-addition diagram and show that it is in qualitative agreement with your numerical solution.

A spelunker is surveying
a cave. She follows a passage 180
m straight west, then 210 m in a di-
rection 45° east of south, and then
280 m at 30° east of north. After a
fourth displacement, she finds her-
