Chapter 12, Problem 12.5P
Your brother is opening a skateboard shop. He has created a sign for his shop made from a uniform material and in the shape shown in Figure P12.5. The shape of the sign represents one of the hills in the skateboard park he plans on building on land adjacent to the shop. The curve on the top of the sign is described by the function y = (x − 3)2/9. When the sign arrives in his shop, your brother wants to hang it from a single wire outside the shop. But he doesn’t know where on the sign to attach the wire so that the bottom edge of the sign will hang in a horizontal orientation. He asks for your help.

- Taking a Hike A hiker begins a trip by first walking 21.0 km southeast from her car. She stops and sets up her tent for the night. On the second day, she walks 46.0 km in a direction 60.0° north of east, at which point she discovers a forest ranger's tower. y (km) Can N W-DE 45.0° 60.0° Tent Tower B x (km) ☹ (a) Determine the components of the hiker's displacement for each day. SOLUTION Conceptualize We conceptualize the problem by drawing a sketch as in the figure. If we denote the displacement vectors on the first and second days by A and B, respectively, and use the ---Select-- as the origin of coordinates, we obtain the vectors shown in the figure. The sketch allows us to estimate the resultant vector as shown. Categorize Drawing the resultant R, we can now categorize this problem as one we've solved before: --Select-- of two vectors.
