Chapter 3, Problem 68P
A bank in downtown Boston is robbed (see the map in Fig. 3-36). To elude police, the robbers escape by helicopter, making three successive flights described by the following displacements: 32 km, 45° south of east; 53 km, 26° north of west; 26 km, 18° east of south. At the end of the third flight they are captured. In what town are they apprehended?

The figure shows the path taken by a drunk skunk over level ground, from initial point i to final point f. The angles are 01-32.0°,
e2 = 49.0°, and 03 = 84.0°, and the distances are di 4.80 m, d2 = 7.30 m, and d3 = 10.0 m. What are the (a) magnitude and (b) angle of
the skunk's displacement from i to f? Give the angle as a positive (counterclockwise) or negative (clockwise) angle of magnitude less
than 180°, measured from the +x direction.
