Homework Statement
A ship leaves the island of Guam and sails a distance 300km at an angle 32.0∘ north of west.
In which direction must it now head so that its resultant displacement will be 125km directly east of Guam? (Express your answer as an angle measured south of east)
How far must it sail so that its resultant displacement will be 125km directly east of Guam?
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
A [/B]= 300km @ 32 deg
B = 125 km @ 180 deg
Ax = 300cos(180-32) = -254.41 Ay = 300sin32 =158.98
Bx= -125 By = 0
A-B = C
Cx = -129.41 C y= 158.98
C= sqrt(-129.41^2 + 158.98^2)
C = 204.99
