Chapter 02, Problem 10
In reaching her destination, a backpacker walks with an average velocity of 1.26 m/s, due west. This average velocity results,
because she hikes for 6.62 km with an average velocity of 2.54 m/s due west, turns around, and hikes with an average velocity of
0.381 m/s due east. How far east did she walk (in kilometers)?
