Question
The figure shows the path taken by a drunk skunk over level ground, from initial point i to final point f. The angles are e, = 32.0°,
e, = 49.0°, and0z = 84.0°, and the distances are d= 4.80 m, d2 = 7.30 m, and dz = 10.0 m. What are the (a) magnitude and (b) angle of
the skunk's displacement from i to f? Give the angle as a positive (counterclockwise) or negative (clockwise) angle of magnitude less
than 180°, measured from the +x direction.
