In an assembly operation illustrated in Figure P3.30. a robot moves an object first straight upward and then also to the east, around an arc forming one-quarter of a circle of radius 4.80 cm that lies in an east–west vertical plane. The robot then moves the object upward and to the north, through one-quarter of a circle of radius 3.70 cm that lies in a north–south vertical plane. Find (a) the magnitude of the total displacement of the object and (b) the angle the total displacement makes with the vertical.

- Figure OQ3.3 shows a birds-eye view of a car going around a highway curve. As the car moves from point 1 to point 2, its speed doubles. Which of the vectors (a) through (e) shows the direction of the cars average acceleration between these two points?arrow_forwardA delivery man starts at the post office, chives 40 km north, then 20 km west, then 60 km northeast, and finally 50 km north to stop for lunch. Use a graphical method to find his net displacement vector.arrow_forwardFigure P3.28 illustrates typical proportions of male (m) and female (f) anatomies. The displacements d1m and d1f from the soles of the feet to the navel have magnitudes of 104 cm and 64.0 cm. respectively. The displacements d2m and d2f from the navel to outstretched fingertips have magnitudes of 100 cm and 86.0 cm, respectively. Find the vector sum of these displacements d3=d1+d2 for both people.
