2. You take a three-day hiking. On the first day, you travel 5.0 km heading east. On the second you enjoyed the scenery so much you forgot to take note how far you have walked and in what direction. On the third day, after wandering for 8.5 km and in the direction 37° south of west, you found yourself in the base camp. Determine your displacement during the second day of your trip. Use the scale 1.0 cm = 2.0 km.
