A man pushing a mop across a floor causes it to undergo two displacements. The first has a magnitude of 152 cm and makes an angle of 124° with the positive x axis. The resultant displacement has a magnitude of 141 cm and is directed at an angle of 34.0° to the positive x axis. Find the magnitude and direction of the second displacement.

A spelunker is surveying a cave. She follows a passage 180 m straight west, and then 210 m in a direction 35° east of south. After a third unmeasured displacement, she finds herself 150 m, 20° south of east from where she started. Use the method of components to determine the magnitude and direction of the third displacement.
While exploring a cave, a spelunker starts at the entrance and moves the following distances. She goes 75.0 m north, 250 m east, 125 m at an angle 30.0° north of east, and 150 m south. Find the resultant displacement from the cave entrance :-
