A novice golfer in the green takes three strokes to dunk the ball. The successful displacement of the balls are d1=4.04m to the north, d2=1.96 m northeast, and d3=1.16m at 30.0° west of south. Starting at the initial point, an expert golfer could make this hole in what single displacement. Find the magnitude and direction north of east.
