A ship heading due west at 1.5 m/s meets a current going south east at 1 m/s. Find the resultant speed and direction of the ship. At the same time, a crew member climbs the ship's mast at 0.7 m/s, find the magnitude and direction of the crew member travelling through space. Draw the Space and Vector Diagrams to accompany both answers.
