Problem 3: Walking around Three players on a reality TV show are brought to the center of a large, flat field. Each is given a meter stick, a compass, a calculator, a shovel, and the following 3 displacements in order: A: 72.4 m, 32° east of north, B: 57.3 m, 36° south of west, C: 17.8 m due south. y (th) 17,8m C 32.0 57.3 m B 36.0 A 724 m The three displacements lead to the point in the field where the keys to a new Porsche are buried. Two of the players take the brown path, following the three displacements in order. However, the winner calculates the net displacement of all three vectors together (vector R) and follows the blue path, getting there faster than the other two contestents. For each calculation in the following questions, keep at least 2 decimal places for each value. (east)

Hardy, an avid JikTeker decided to look at his wristwatch to tell his friend dolphins the current time. However, his dolphins only understand the time if it is stated in terms of the resultant vector when the hour hand and minute hand vectors are added together. Assume that both vectors point from the center, outward. The length of the hour hand is 6. 20 [cm]; while the length of the minute hand is 9. 50 [cm]. Assume the hour hand only moves every hour. Follow this format in answering each sub-item: a. Draw the position of the hour and minute hands on an analog clock for this time configuration. Label your illustration with relevant angles and magnitudes b. Decompose the components of each vector along the x and y direction. c Calculate for the resultant vector and express in the form required in each item. What should Hardy tell the dolphins if the current time is: 5:15 PM, in bearing form? В. 1:40 PM, in component form? A. B.
