4. Find the sum of these four vector forces: 12.0 N to the right at 35.0° above the horizontal, 25.0 N
to the left at 50.0° above the horizontal, 8.50 N to the left at 20.0° below the horizontal, and 20.0
N to the right at 55.0° below the horizontal.

5. Calculate a) the x-component and b) the y-component the vector with magnitude 24.0 𝑚 and
direction 56.0° above horizontal.
[𝟏𝟑. 𝟒𝟐 𝒎, 𝟏𝟗. 𝟗𝟎 𝒎]

6. A person walks 25.0° north of east for 3.1 𝑘𝑚. How far due north and how far due east would
she have to walk to arrive at the same location?
[𝟏. 𝟑𝟏 𝒌𝒎 𝒅𝒖𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒏𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒉 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝟐. 𝟖𝟏 𝒅𝒖𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒕]

7. Three players on a reality TV show are brought to the center of a large, flat field. Each is given a
meter stick, a compass, a calculator, a shovel, and the following three displacements:
A = 72.4 m, 32.0° east of north
B = 57.3 m, 36.0° south of west
C = 17.8 m due south
The three displacements lead to the point in the field
where the keys to a new Porsche are buried. Two
players start measuring immediately, but the winner
first calculates where to go. What does she calculate?
