Chapter 3, Problem 16P
A snow-covered ski slope makes an angle of 35.0° with the horizontal. When a ski jumper plummets onto the hill, a parcel of splashed snow is thrown up to a maximum displacement of 1.50 m at 16.0° from the vertical in the uphill direction as shown in Figure P3.16. Find the components of its maximum displacement (a) parallel to the surface and (b) perpendicular to the surface.

Use the component method to add the vectors A
and B shown in Figure P3.9. Both vectors have mag-
nitudes of 3.00 m and vector A makes an angle of
0 = 30.0° with the x axis. Express the resultant Á + B in
unit-vector notation.
A force F, of magnitude 6.00
units acts on an object at the ori-
gin in a direction 0
the positive x axis (Fig. P3.7). A
second force F, of magnitude
5.00 units acts on the object
in the direction of the positive
y axis. Find graphically the magni-
tude and direction of the resultant
force F, + F,.

While exploring a cave, a spelunker starts at the
entrance and moves the following distances in a hori-
zontal plane. She goes 75.0 m north, 250 m east, 125 m
at an angle u 5 30.0° north of east, and 150 m south.
Find her resultant displacement from the cave
entrance. Figure P3.21 suggests the situation but is not
