Harry, an avid TikToker, decided to look at his faulty wristwatch to tell his friend dolphins the current time. However, his dolphins only understand the time if it is stated in terms of the resultant vector when the hour hand and minute hand vectors are added together. Assume that both vectors point from the center, outward. The length of the hour hand is 1.50 [cm]; while the length of the minute hand is 3.00 [cm]. What should Harry tell his dolphins if the current time is if time is 5:30 AM in bearing form? How about 1:25 PM in vector form?  Disregard the exact placement of the hour hand. Regardless of where the minute hand is, the hour hand remains on the number. If the time is 5:30, the hour hand is pointing exactly at 5. Draw the position of the hour and minute hands on an analog clock for this time configuration. Label your illustration with relevant angles and magnitudes. no need to consider the movement of the hour hand with respect to where the minute hand is pointing.

Draw the position of the hour and minute hands on an analog clock for this time configuration. Label your illustration with relevant angles and magnitudes. no need to consider the movement of the hour hand with respect to where the minute hand is pointing.
