While surveying a cave, a spelunker follows a passage 180 m straight west, then 210 m in a direction 45° east of south, and then 280 m at 30.0° east of north. After a fourth unmeasured displacement, she finds herself back where she started. Use vector components to find the magnitude and direction of the fourth displacement. Then check the reasonableness of your answer with a graphical sum.

A traveler is exploring an unfamiliar cave in the Northern Luzon. She follows a passage 180 mstraight west, then 210 m in a direction 45 ̊ east of south, and then 280 m at 30 ̊ east of north.After a fourth unmeasured displacement, she finds herself back where she started. Draw thediagram following her path, then solve for the magnitude and direction of the fourthdisplacement. You may also try drawing a scale diagram of the given vectors using your ruler andprotractor, then measure the fourth displacement to check your quantitative answer.
