Problem 1:A man sailing a boat follows the directions to a dock. The instructions stated that he hasto sail 25.0 m in a direction 60º E of N from his starting location, and then sail additional35.0 m in a direction 50º E of S. How far will he be from his starting point?Problem 2:Suppose a pilot flies 15.0 km in a direction 60º N of E and then flies 30.0 km in a direction15º N of E. Find the total distance R from the starting point and the direction θ of thestraight-line path to the final position.
