Question

One kind of slingshot consists of a pocket that holds a pebble and is whirled on a circle of radius r. The pebble is released from the circle
at the angle 0 so that it will hit the target. The angle o in the drawing is 40.0°. The distance to the target from the center of the circle is
d. (See the drawing below, which is not to scale.) The circular path is parallel to the ground, and the target lies in the plane of the circle.
The distance d is four times the radius r. Ignore the effect of gravity in pulling the stone downward after it is released and find the angle
0.

A hiking girl needs to go 24.8 km straight North to get to base camp, instead the compass confuses her and she travels 11.904 km at a 6.1° deflection East from straight North. Then she realizes what she has done and so guesses an angle of 15.5° deflection West of straight North and then hikes 19.592 km. What is the magnitude of her displacement from where she is now located to base camp. (put your answer is standard units)

Find a unit vector perpendicular to A = (î+ ĵ – Îk) and B = ( 2i + j- 3k). (Hints. One method to find the unit vector C perpendicular to A and B will be to use the fact that the cross product is perpendicular to both vectors A and B, but keep in mind that the magnitude of the unit vector is one. There is another method which is a little bit longer by using the fact that the dot product AC=0 and BC=0 where C is the unit vector )
