7.A man pushing a mop across a floor causes the mop to undergo two displacements. The first has a magnitude of 150 cm and makes an angle of 120° with the positive x axis. The resultant displacement has a magnitude of 140 cm and is directed at an angle of 35.0° to the positive x axis. Find the magnitude and direction of the second displacement.

A traveler is exploring an unfamiliar cave in the Northern Luzon. She follows a passage 180 mstraight west, then 210 m in a direction 45 ̊ east of south, and then 280 m at 30 ̊ east of north.After a fourth unmeasured displacement, she finds herself back where she started. Draw thediagram following her path, then solve for the magnitude and direction of the fourthdisplacement. You may also try drawing a scale diagram of the given vectors using your ruler andprotractor, then measure the fourth displacement to check your quantitative answer.

You take a three-day hike. 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 370 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.
