PROBLEM 1A man pushing a mop across a floor causes it to undergo two displacements. The first has amagnitude of 142 cm and makes an angle of 122º c.c. w.r.t. X-axis. The resultant displacement hasa magnitude of 143 cm and is directed at an angle of 40o c.c. w.r.t x-axis. Find the magnitude anddirection of the second displacement.

A man pushing a mop across a floor causes it to undergo two displacements. The first has a magnitude of 142 cm and makes an angle of 1220 c.c. w.r.t. x-axis. The resultant displacement has a magnitude of 143 cm and is directed at an angle of 40° c.c. w.r.t x-axis. Find the magnitude and direction of the second displacement.
