An explorer is caught in a whiteout (in which the snowfall is so thick that the ground cannot be distinguished from the sky) while returning to base camp. He was supposed to travel due north for 5.1 km, but when the snow clears, he discovers that he actually traveled 8.2 km at 55∘ north of due east. (a) How far and (b) in what direction (south of due west) must he now travel to reach base camp? (a) Number Units (b) Number Units

Multiple Concept Example 9 reviews the concepts that play a role in this problem. As an aid in working this problem, consult Concept Simulation 1.1. Two forces are applied to a tree stump to pull it out of the ground. Force F→ A has a magnitude of 1820 newtons (N) and points 38.0∘ south of east, while force F→ B has a magnitude of 2760 N and points due south. Using the component method, find the (a) magnitude and (b) direction of the resultant force F→A + F→ B that is applied to the stump. Specify the direction as a positive angle with respect to due east. (a) Number Units (b) Number Units
