It takes a golfer a total of three strokes to put the ball in the hole. The displacements of the three strokes are as follows: d, = 4.00 m the north, d, = 2.10 m northeast, and d, = 1.00 m
at 8 = 35.0° west of south, as shown in the figure. If the golfer had made the hole in a single shot, what would be the displacement of the ball? (Assume the positive y- and x-axes are in
the north and east directions, respectively. Give the magnitude of your answer in meters and the direction in degrees north of east.)
