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
drawn to scale.
