Problem 3: Walking around Three players on a reality TV show are brought to the center of a large, flat field. Each is given a meter stick, a compass, a calculator, a shovel, and the following 3 displacements in order: A: 72.4 m, 32° east of north, B: 57.3 m, 36° south of west, C: 17.8 m due south. y (th) 17,8m C 32.0 57.3 m B 36.0 A 724 m The three displacements lead to the point in the field where the keys to a new Porsche are buried. Two of the players take the brown path, following the three displacements in order. However, the winner calculates the net displacement of all three vectors together (vector R) and follows the blue path, getting there faster than the other two contestents. For each calculation in the following questions, keep at least 2 decimal places for each value. (east)
