A cruise ship is moving through the water with a speed of 4.80 km/hr in a direction 34.0° east of north (that means 34.0° clockwise from north.) After 3.00 hours, the ship changes course and moves with a speed of 5.40 km/hr for 2.00 hrs in a direction 54.0° south of east (that means 54.0° clockwise from east, [east is to the right]). Find the total displacement of the ship during the whole trip (magnitude and direction.) Use the components method with a head-to-tail diagram
