A sailboat under auxilary power is proceeding in the direction N 25° W at 6 (25° West of North) miles per hour. A tail wind is blowing 15 mph in the direction S 35° E (35° East of South). Which of the following is the component vector for the resultant vector that considers both the sailboat and the tail wind?

In an attempt to escape a desert island, a castaway builds a raft and sets out to sea. The wind shifts a great deal during the day and he is blown along the following directions: 2.50 km and 45.0 north of west, then 4.70 km and 60.0 south of east, then 1.30 km and 25.0 south of west, then 5.10 km straight east, then 1.70 km and 5.00 east of north, then 7.20 km and 55.0 south of west, and finally 2.80 km and 10.0 north of east. Use a graphical method to find the castaway’s final position relative to the island.
