A man pushing a mop across a floor causes it to undergo two displacements. The first has a magnitude of 140 cm and makes an angle of 124° with the positive x axis. The resultant displacement has a magnitude of 139 cm and is directed at an angle of 36.0° to the positive x axis. Find the magnitude and direction of the second displacement. magnitude cm direction (counterclockwise from the positive x-axis)
