Harry, an avid TikToker, decided to look at his faulty wristwatch to tell his friend dolphins the current time. However, his dolphins only understand the time if it is stated in terms of the resultant vector when the hour hand and minute hand vectors are added together. Assume that both vectors point from the center, outward. The length of the hour hand is 3.00 [cm]; while the length of the minute hand is 1.50 [cm]. What should Harry tell his dolphins if the current time is if time is 5:30 AM? How about 1:25 PM? Draw the position of the hour and minute hands on an analog clock for this time configuration. Label your illustration with relevant angles and magnitudes.

(You can imagine the clock like a kindergarten clock wherein if the time is 5:30, the hour hand is pointing exactly at 5.) Draw the position of the hour and minute hands on an analog clock for this time configuration. Label your illustration with relevant angles and magnitudes. no need to consider the movement of the hour hand with respect to where the minute hand is pointing.

She follows a passage 180 m straight west, then 210 m in a direction 45°east of south, and then 280 m at 30° east of north. After a fourth displacement, she finds herself back where she started. Use a scale drawing to determine the magnitude and direction of the fourth displacement.
