Question
Oasis B is 9.0km due east of oasis A. Starting from oasis A, a camel walks 20 km in a direction
15.0° south of east and then
walks 34 km due north. If it is to then walk directly to B, (a) how far and (b) in what direction
(relative to the positive x-axis within the range (-180°, 180°]) should it walk?
Gruen data : Distance between A AND B'is d = 9,0 Km
Please Note:
step I
step 2
all the answeRs are
correct,
The vector diagram of displacement of camel is shown below.

In above figure:
Step 4
d, = 20 km
(а)
d, = 34 km
The distance travelled by the camel to reach the oasis B is:
JBC + DC
DB =
Step 3
(10.318 km ) +(28.823 km )*
= 30.6 km
From geometrical property:
(b) * Explaruthion, Please
BC = AC – AB
= d̟ cos15° - d
= (20 km ) cos15° – 9.0 km 0 = 270° – ZCDB
= 10.318 km
The direction of displacement relative to positive x-axis is
ВС
= 270°- tan
DC
DC = DE - CE
10.318 km
= 270° - tan
= d, - d, sin 15°
= 34 km - (20 km }sin15°
28.823 km
= 250.3°
= 28.823 km
= 250.3° – 360°
= -109.7°
