1. A rescue party for a missing child follows a search dog named Trooper. Trooper wanders around and makes trial sniffs along many different paths. Trooper eventually finds the child but his displacements on various legs seem to be truly convoluted. On one of the legs he walks 200.0 m southeast, and then he runs north some 300.0m. On the third leg, he examines the scents carefully for 50.0 m in the direction of 30 west of north On the fourth leg, Trooper goes directly south for 80.0 m. picks up a fresh scent and turns 23 west of south for 150.0 m. Find the scalar components of Trooper's displacementvectors and his displacement vector for each leg.
