Answer:
Explanation:
The diagram showing the illustration of the question is shown on the first uploaded image
Here G represents the base
So the displacement in the x -axis is mathematically represented as
[tex]X = 11200 + 8400 = 19600 \ m[/tex]
The displacement in the y -axis is mathematically represented as
[tex]Y 3200 + 1700 = 4900 \ m[/tex]
Generally the resultant displacement is
[tex]R = \sqrt{ X^2 + Y^2}[/tex]
[tex]R = \sqrt{ 19600^2 + 4900^2}[/tex]
[tex]R = 20200\ m [/tex]
Generally the direction of this resultant displacement is mathematically represented as
[tex]\theta = tan ^{-1} [\frac{Y}{X} ][/tex]
=> [tex]\theta = tan ^{-1} [\frac{4900}{19600} ][/tex]
=> [tex]\theta = 14.03 ^o [/tex]
Hence the direction is [tex]14.03 ^o[\tex] from the horizontal axis
