A plane flies in two straight-line segments. On the first segment it flies 250 km at an angle of
30° south of west. Then it flies 125 km at an angle of 20° east of south on the second
segment. Find the magnitude and direction of the resulting (overall) displacement of the
plane (a) by graphically drawing the displacement vectors and (b) by calculating the resultant
using components..
