Chapter 3, Problem 28P
Two beetles run across flat sand, starting at the same point. Beetle 1 runs 0.50 m due east, then 0.80 m at 30° north of due east. Beetle 2 also makes two runs; the first is 1.6 m at 40° east of due north. What must be (a) the magnitude and (b) the direction of its second run if it is to end up at the new location of beetle 1?

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.

While exploring a cave, a spelunker starts at the
entrance and moves the following distances in a hori-
zontal plane. She goes 75.0 m north, 250 m east, 125 m
at an angle u 5 30.0° north of east, and 150 m south.
Find her resultant displacement from the cave
entrance. Figure P3.21 suggests the situation but is not
drawn to scale.
