62. GO A pilot flies her route in two straight-line segments. The displace- ment vector A for the first segment has a magnitude of 244 km and a direction 30.0° north of east. The displacement vector B for the second segment has a magnitude of 175 km and a direction due west. The resul- tant displacement vector is R = Ã + B and makes an angle 0 with the direction due east. Using the component method, find the magnitude of R and the directional angle 0.
