It takes a golfer three strokes to get a golf ball into a hole. On the first hit, the ball moves 6.0 m to the east. On the second hit, it moves 2.9 m at an angle of 20 ° north of east. On the third hit, it moves 0.50 m to the north. If the golfer had struck the ball directly into the hole in one stroke, what would have been the magnitude (in m) and the direction of the ball's displacement? Indicate direction as a positive angle measured counterclockwise from east.
