Chapter 3, Problem 28P
A snow-covered ski slope makes an angle of 35.0° with the horizontal. When a ski jumper plummets onto the hill, a parcel of splashed snow is thrown up to a maximum displacement of 1.50 m at 16.0° from the vertical in the uphill direction as shown in Figure P3.16. Find the components of its maximum displacement (a) parallel to the surface and (b) perpendicular to the surface.

While exploring a cave, a spelunker starts at the
entrance and moves the following distances in a hori-
zontal plane. She goes 75.0 m north, 250 m east, 125 m
at an angle u 5 30.0° north of east, and 150 m south.
Find her resultant displacement from the cave
entrance. Figure P3.21 suggests the situation but is not
drawn to scale.
